Get to know more than 20 crucial art history innovators and experience how art meets science, from cave paintings to today's advanced tech - then discover their incredible techniques for yourself through 18 different art crafting activities!

In Art Alive! with Science, award-winning author Mary Auld explores moments from art history that have expanded our understanding of the way things work, such as the beautiful balance of forces in kinetic sculpture, the interplay of light and shadow in painting and puppetry and how Op Art tricks our brains and plays with our senses. Playful illustrations by Sue Downing appear alongside photos of each artist's work, perfect for drawing in readers age 8 and up. Following each case study, there is a creative project that applies the science learning to the reader's own art practice.

Artists and science topics include: Anatomy with Myron's Discobolus (Discus Thrower); Flight with Leonardo da Vinci; Light with Caravaggio's chiaroscuro & wayang kulit shadow puppetry; Colour with expressionism & pointillism; Sound with Paul Klee's Polyphony; Forces with Alexander Calder; Materials with Anish Kapoor; Chemistry with Cai Guo-Qiang's explosion events ... and many more!

She has been actively involved in music from an early age both singing and playing the flute on an amateur basis. She loves making music in a group be that in an orchestra or a choir. Whether making music or writing children's books her aim is to share her enthusiasm and inspire readers.

Sue lives and works in a little eco house in Newcastle upon Tyne with her husband and two children. She loves to draw design and make things. Since leaving Edinburgh College of art in the late 1990s she's worked in-house on a freelance basis as an illustrator product/licensed character developer a designer/maker of jewellery greetings cards and wrapping paper - never a dull moment!

She's drawn to anything that is quirky humorous and minimal in design and hopes that this is reflected in her illustration.
