The art may be tiny, but the creativity is unlimited! This kit includes small-scale, (yet still usable) versions of art supplies, including paint, coloured pencils, and more. Sprinkled throughout are sidebars on the artists and art history behind the tongue-in-cheek takes on classics by famous artists including Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, Piet Mondrian, Leonardo da Vinci, and more.
