Description

The newest volume in Black Dog’s best-selling, award-winning Child’s Introduction series explores the fascinating world of art and artists and includes do-it-yourself art projects all through.



In the tradition of Black Dog’s best-selling Child’s Introduction books, which come with The Story of the Orchestra and A Child’s Introduction to the Night Sky, A Child’s Introduction to Art introduces kids ages 9 through 12 to the art world’s most famous painters, styles, and periods, all brought to life through full-color photographs of 40 masterpieces, in addition to charming original illustrations.



The book highlights 40 painters and sculptors, including Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Diego Velasquez, Vincent van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Mary Cassatt, and Andy Warhol, providing information on their life, inspirations, influences, technique, and a full-color photo of one of their signature artistic endeavors. It’s also an overview of more than a few styles and periods (Renaissance, Impressionism, Cubism, and the like.), instruction on the right way to view and appreciate art, and information on the color wheel and other tools artists employ.



Fun art projects all through, such as Can You Find It?, Q-tip pointillism, making a stained-glass window with tissue paper, and Spatter Paint like Pollock, allow kids to be told about painting techniques and explore their own artistic abilities. Also includes five masterpiece paintings to color.



Meredith Hamilton’s witty illustrations add some other dimension to the excellent text and photographs.
