Paint, yarn, toothpaste, big colorful sheets of butcher paper, cardstock paper, scissors, pencils and lots and lots of books equaled a fun day!\u00a0The library was transformed into an art gallery. Below are favorite books and a few sample ideas.\u00a0 Matisse: cut out fun with Matisse by Nina Hollein (all of the Adventures in Art series are fun and great for library programs) The Art Book for Children text by Amanda Renshaw (Book One and Book Two) Express Yourself! Activities and Adventures in Expressionism by Joyce Raimondo (series) and check out her website!...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.alsc.ala.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Matisse-one-150x150.jpg"}
