Rating: 5 stars
Cover synopsis: This book explores the choices and attitudes of thirty different artists. It explores the various ideas, meanings, roles and functions of art by looking at painting, sculpture, photography and prints and helps develop children's understanding of color, form, texture and pattern.
My search for an art book for my kids ends here. At 75 pages, this book is substantial, has great images and is child-appropriate. I also like the way the (unnamed) author involves the reader in the art, asking children to use their imagination to wonder about why artists created things they way they did.
This book included a lot of different art than was in the "Masterpieces Up Close" I recently reviewed. It tackles a wide variety of format, style and color. Loved it. Now to see if my kids enjoy it...
