Description
To make each of her illustrations, Jaye Oliver visited the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and drew the toys, figurines, and other folk art from their collection. As Oliver did, you too can tour the exhibits and find dolls from the Athabascan people of Canada, a household deity from China, a terra-cotta angel from Guatemala, a marionette from Rajasthan, India, and so, so much more. These artful objects, which people have created and used in their everyday lives, tell us a great deal about the world.
Oliver lives in Santa Fe and has spent hours at the museum enjoying folk art from cultures that crisscross the globe. "The displays from various countries bring alive each culture in such fun and colorful ways!" she says. One of Oliver's favorite pastimes as a child was coloring, and twenty-two of her illustrations have been gathered here for you to color. We've also left a blank page in the back of the book where you can draw the toys or other interesting objects in your life.
