Excellent introduction to art interpretation, 2 Sep 2003

By	J. Dawson (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dan's Angel (Hardcover)

I work with children and particularly enjoy introducing them to fine art. This is one of the best books I have found on the subject. Quirky, likeable illustrations by the inimitable Lauren Child combine with reproductions of famous artworks. A large range of styles and time periods are represented, and the language used is spot on. Quite a lot of text, so probably most suitable for ages from 5 upwards. This is simply a brilliant tool for stimulating interest in art and encouraging thinking skills, too.
