This picture book introduces readers to various artists and to their unique art styles and techniques. Each bio is accompanied by an illustration of a sprinkled, pink-frosted doughnut showcasing the style of that particular painter. Included on the menu are doughnuts themed after Leonardo Da Vinci, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and a "Van Gogh Donut: A strikingly rich donut filled with swirls of divine details." Delicious! Super fun and informative, art lovers and food enthusiasts will no doubt devour Cultured Donuts: Take a Bite Out of Art History by Chloe Tyler.
The pink, bolded terms throughout the text can be found in the "Glossary." There is a QR code at the end of the "Glossary" that leads to a collection of resources for further study. "Tips & Tricks for Tasty Technique" (also in the back) gives hints on how to start emulating the distinctive styles.
Note:
The spelling "donuts" is an alternative to "doughnuts."
