Pictures are grouped by themes, for example, "Mother and child", "Animals", and Shapes", giving exciting comparisons across different periods and cultures.

Superb reproductions and stimulating text on every page encourages children to get really involved with the pictures, and to give their own reactions.

An Art Activity for every theme shows how children can apply the ideas hey have been looking at in their own art. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
