Aspiring artists will find plenty of inspiration from the new Art Ed Books and Kits series by Janet Boris: Frida Kahlo; Roy Lichtenstein; Robert Rauschenberg; and Jacob Lawrence. Each oversize cardboard box kit includes a 24-page artist biography, an eight-page activity book (linked to the artist's work), and materials in the medium used by the profiled artist. For example, included in Frida Kahlo's kit are: 5 tubes of non-toxic paint, 5 oil pastels, 10 sheets of art paper, 3 paint brushes, a mixing palette, a diary booklet and a frame. ( July)
