{"product_id":"american-folk-art-for-kids-richard-panchyk-9781556524998","title":"American Folk Art for Kids: With 21 Activities Volume 12","description":"Drawing on the natural folk art tendencies of children, who love to collect buttons, bottle caps, shells, and Popsicle sticks to create beautiful, imperfect art, this activity guide teaches kids about the history of this organic art and offers inspiration for them to create their own masterpieces. The full breadth of American folk art is surveyed, including painting, sculpture, decorative arts, and textiles from the 17th century through today. Making bubblegum wrapper chains, rag dolls, bottle cap sculptures, decoupage boxes, and folk paintings are just a few of the activities designed to bring out the artist in every child. Along the way kids learn about the lives of Americans throughout history and their casual relationships to everyday art as they cut stencils, sew needlepoint samplers, draw calligraphy birds, and design quilts. Important folk artists such as the last surviving Shakers, the legendary Grandma Moses, and the Reverend Howard Finster are also explored in sidebars throughout the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Panchyk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556524994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556524998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.40w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e107254 \/ American Folk Art for Kids: With 21 Activities\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 495\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/08\/2004 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/08\/2004","brand":"Richard Panchyk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46602939203839,"sku":"9781556524998","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95772234-1d33-4a87-8cb9-21bf1ad6482e.jpg?v=1739695727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-folk-art-for-kids-richard-panchyk-9781556524998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
