Each lavishly illustrated volume in this innovative series is
devoted to a subject that every child already knows from personal
experience. The works of art chosen for each book show the many
different ways great artists have perceived and expressed that very
subject throughout the ages. Author Colleen Carroll's engaging,
conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions and
imaginative activities that spark children's natural curiosity both
about the subject of the artwork they are looking at and about the
way it was created.
This direct, interactive approach to art -- and to the world --
promotes self-exploration, self-discovery, and self-expression. As
it introduces basic artistic concepts, styles, and techniques, it
also provides loads of fun. For children who want to know more
about the artists whose works appear in the book, biographies are
provided at the end, along with suggestions for further reading and
an international list of museums where each artist's works can be
seen. As children begin to understand the multitude of ways that
artists see, they will deepen their appreciation of art, the world
around them, and, most importantly, their own unique vision.
