Art Book for Children, Book Two
If your gradeschooler groans when you propose a trip to the art museum, maybe she just needs a few lessons in art appreciation. The Art Book for Children, Book Two ($18) can help kids see more than just paint on canvas. Full of color reproductions of well-known paintings both contemporary and from centuries past, this book gently guides children to participate in the interactive aspects of art, to notice the details and what they mean, as well as to ponder what the artist hoped they would think or feel as they examine the work. Kids will learn that art is full of meaning and emotion, as well as paint.
