How to Be an Art Rebel

This is a witty introduction to art that encourages young rebels to think outside the box and respond to various styles and artists. Under the playful guidance of Leo, an art rebel cat, this book takes young readers on an alternative tour of an art museum, discovering eight different art types: portraits, surrealism, ancient sculpture, abstract art, nudity in art, still-life paintings, and contemporary art.

Instead of dictating knowledge, Leo equips readers with the tools to interpret art on their own terms. Understanding symbols allows them to decipher Frida Kahlo’s self-portrait, while surrealism helps them decipher Joan Miró’s doodles. Insights into classical sculptures reveal that antiquity wasn’t as dull as it seemed. Along the way, readers learn about diverse artists and art movements worldwide.
