Cartooning For Kids #1
CARTOONING FOR KIDS #1 is the first in a series of how-to-draw-cartoons books for beginning cartoonists. Unlike many "how to draw" books, MIke puts less emphasis on "underlying structure" and more emphasis on "outlines and edges," which is the way most kids like to draw. Mike Artell has taught hundreds of thousands of kids (and adults!) how to draw cartoons using this, "outlines and edges" approach during his school visits, on television and online. Mike's goal is to help young cartoonists focus on the Three R's when drawing their cartoons: The cartoons should be RECOGNIZABLE. In other words, the cartoons should look like what you're trying to draw. Someone should be able to look at a drawing you've done and know what it is you've drawn. It could be a dog, a whale, etc. It's not necessary that the cartoon is an, "accurate" drawing of a dog or whale, only that the viewer can easily recognize what it is you've drawn. In fact, sometimes "inaccuracies" are really funny. The cartoons should be REMARKABLE. The finished product should be something that elicits an honest, positive reaction from the viewer. A typical positive reaction from the viewer might be something like, "Wow! This is really good. I didn't know you could draw like this." The cartoons should be REPRODUCIBLE. If you learn how to draw a particular cartoon once, it should be possible to draw a similar cartoon again if you decide to do so in the future.It doesn't matter if you draw with a pencil on a sheet a paper, a piece of chalk on the sidewalk, or an electronic drawing device. The first step is to make a mark on a blank surface. There aren't many rules for creating cartoons, so feel free to stretch your creative muscles and have some fun. cartooning;drawing;art;cartoons;illustrations;graphics;doodles;

Brooklyn Bridge
Award-winning author-illustrator Lynn Curlee's "wonderful picture book" (School Library Journal) offers a compelling visual history of the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Brooklyn Bridge--now with a new look! "It so happens that the work which is likely to be our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, but a bridge." So wrote one architectural critic of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the grandest and most eloquent monuments to the American spirit ever produced. Beneath the Brooklyn Bridge's triumphant arches lie astonishing tales of loss, deception, genius, and daring. Over the fourteen-year course of its construction, there was an underwater fire, fraud, and many deaths, including that of designer and chief engineer, John A. Roebling. When the bridge was finished, as part of the opening day festivities, the president, and two mayors crossed it. Its magnificent site, breathtaking span, cutting-edge technology, and sheer beauty have made it the subject of poems, paintings, photographs, novels, plays, and movies.

Beautiful wildlife photography by Michael Salmon, paired with a fantastic coming of age story, sets this book apart as a classic, fun, and inspiring children's story. A prolific wildlife photographer, Michael Salmon's pictures of a pair of mated eagles with their offspring led to this inspiring story. The male and female pair of eagles built their nest high in a pine tree at Rockford Country Club in Rockford, Illinois, where the 2 eagles hatched a pair of eaglets. The young pair were soon seen hopping around the ground of the golf course for several weeks before learning to fly. These young eagles stayed with their parents at the club all that summer, however the next summer they abandoned the nest for a new area. The photographer noted, "I was able to get within a few feet of the babies, until they could fly."This book contains the imagined tale of the two young eagles named Freedom and Liberty, the Eagle family, and the conversations they may have had as they grew up to represent the morals and character of our country.

Art All Around Us
From the self to the stars, art is all around us! Art is not just the paintings and sculptures we see in museums, but also things that surround us every day--family photos, decorations used during holidays or celebrations, even quilts and furniture that inhabit our homes. Throughout human history, people have created all kinds of objects to express who they are and what's important to them. Art All Around introduces young readers to some of the most vibrant and compelling art and artifacts from around the world. Increasingly, art historians are moving beyond a linear, chronological approach to teaching that has prioritized the Western canon and limited artworks to paintings and sculpture. Instead, they are exploring how objects across different mediums, cultures, and time periods produce "conversations" and connections within a broader web of global art. Art All Around includes thoughtfully chosen works from a variety of mediums, including photography, metalwork, pottery, textiles, furniture, and architecture, in addition to traditional paintings and sculpture. Each chapter features art objects from across different cultures and time periods to emphasize their thematic, stylistic, or functional commonalities within a wider web of global art production and ends with an activity page that enables readers to engage with the themes and objects more directly.
