Sharna Jackson Black Artists Shaping the World (Picture Book Edition) Hardback

Featuring fullcolor reproductions of fourteen artworks and illustrations of the artists at work, this picture book is an ideal introduction to contemporary art for young children, and a fantastic tool for teachers wishing to decolonize and diversify their classroom. Sharna Jacksons experience as a childrens author who has worked for over a decade in the cultural sector, both at Tate in London and at Site Gallery in Sheffield, is combined here with the curatorial expertise of Dr. Zo Whitley, Director of Londons Chisenhale Gallery and cocurator of the landmark Tate exhibition "Soul of a Nation Art in the Age of Black Power." Their book features artists working in a variety of media from painting and sculpture to ceramics and installation. The result is a refreshingly contemporary global celebration of Black artists at work today that will serve as inspiration to a new generation of aspiring young artists. | Sharna Jackson Black Artists Shaping the World (Picture Book Edition) Hardback
