Author Colleen Carroll's friendly, conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions that promote exploration, self-expression, and fun. In these revised and redesigned editions of two classic How Artists See titles, more than half the artworks are newly selected-and they range from contemporary Latin American street art to an ancient Greek coin.
