This text is part of aseries of interactive, inquiry-based books designed to teachchildren about the world by looking at art and about art by lookingat the world. Each volume presents 16 diverse works of art, alldevoted to a subject that every child already knows from personalexperience. Author Colleen Carroll's engaging, conversational textis filled with thought-provoking questions and imaginativeactivities that spark children's natural curiosity both about thesubject of the artwork they are looking at and about the way it wascreated. This direct, interactive approach to art - and to theworld - aims to promote self-exploration, self-discovery, andself-expression. The books introduce basic artistic concepts,styles, and techniques. For children who want to know more aboutthe artists whose works appear in each book, biographies areprovided at the end, along with suggestions for further reading andan international list of museums where each artist's works can beseen. As children begin to understand the multitude of ways thatartists see, they should deepen their appreciation of art andartists, of the world around them, and of their own uniquevision.
