Art Masterclass with Gustav Klimt by Lucy Brownridge, Hanna Konola

winelovingbooknerd's review against another edition

Fantastic art book for kids or adults! Filled with facts about Klimt and how his particular style of art evolved and what makes it unique. Each page has a space to practice the technique but there's lots of freedom to make it your own too. I particularly liked the section that had you gather all of your art supplies and test out which colors are "shimmery", "sharp", "cold", "hard", "hot", "delicate", "rich" and "scratchy". It really helps the budding artist get a feel for how you can create different textures in your art.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love this book’s progression! From brief biography to timeline to drawing Klimt-like details. In the end, I had an increased appreciation for Klimt’s work—and I have been a fan for years! A must for fans of Klimt or budding young artist.

This is a fun and interesting series for children (and adults too, if you ask me!) that introduces a different artist in each book. The artist's work is discussed, covering techniques used, influences, things to look for in their style, etc. I liked that the works are broken down into pieces- use of color, use of shapes, how brushstrokes are used, light and shadow- making the work more accessible and easier to understand. Each aspect of the work has some practice exercises, leading you to create your own version of the artist's style at the end. This would make a great gift for any art lover, young or old!

This is a fun & great way to learn about Klimt! Perfect companion for an art history class. I love that the lessons are side by side with Klint’s piece.
