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.

"Written by a recognized authority in the field and illustrated with many specially commissioned full-color photographs, the book proudly present the spirit of the American nation as it has been expressed by generations of American craftspeople. The nation's symbols--the eagle, the flag, Uncle Sam, Liberty--and its ideals--freedom, home, religion--have been worked and reworked in many dramatic forms for more than two hundred years. Each artist has imbued his work with his generation's understanding of what the country stands for. The variety of forms of patriotic folk art is matched only by the variety of the artists. Painting and sculpture, carved weathervanes and whirligigs, ceramics, quilts and rugs, toys, painted furniture, shop signs, and religious symbols have been created by men and women of all ages and social levels, some working to earn a living, some working only for the joy of creating. Each chapter covers one symbol or ideal and shows how it has been reproduced in various forms that range from home-spun simplicity to ingenious sophistication, evoking the individuality, self-confidence, and optimism that are central to the American experience."--book jacket.
