Description

A thoughtful introduction to art and its interpretation for children, with a sense of humor

Why is Art Full of Naked People? is an irreverent and informative primer that asks tricky questions about what makes art art. What is with all of the fruit? Why is art so weird at the present time? There are questions about how art views the world, from cave paintings through to Cubism, from the Renaissance to latest art, questions about different genres, including still-life painting, landscapes and portraits, and questions concerning the role and value of art up to now and as of late.

Artists ask questions when they make art and viewers ask questions when they have a look at art; this book provides an engaging way for young people to explore asking and answering questions for themselves. The book is structured around twenty-two questions, each and every one tackled over two spreads. Through this provocative approach it offers an introduction to art history and a toolkit to enable young people to feel confident asking questions, on the lookout for answers, and “reading” art for themselves.
