Liftoff!: How the Apollo Moon Missions Made Alma Thomas's Art Soar - Hardcover
About this item
by Nina Crews (Author), Nina Crews (Illustrator)
The Apollo astronauts gave people a new way of looking at the world--and so did modern artist Alma Thomas.
In 1969, people around the world watched as the Apollo 10 astronauts sent the first-ever live color television broadcasts from space. Abstract painter Alma Thomas was among those watching, and afterward, she began a series of bright, bold pieces inspired by the Moon missions and the marvels of space exploration.
In a dual narrative that weaves together key moments from the Apollo 10 mission with Alma's process creating Snoopy Sees a Sunrise, celebrated author and illustrator Nina Crews presents a fascinating STEAM-themed perspective on an incredible scientific endeavor--and an incredible artist.
