P-G: Westmoreland museum uses Mt. Lebanon teacher's book on American art to involve children

When the staff of the Westmoreland Museum of American Art searched for a children's book on American art to sell in the gift shop, there was none available. So the little museum that could decided to create its own.

The result is "Imagine American Art," a delightful, entertaining and child-friendly publication that combines storytelling with hands-on art projects in each of three sections -- portrait, landscape and still life. It's designed for ages 6 to 12.

Author Katie Barnard Switzer, who teaches art in the Mt. Lebanon School District, will be at the museum on Main Street, in Greensburg, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday to sign copies of "Imagine American Art," which will be sold at 20 percent discount off its $17.95 retail price.
