Figuring Figures

A whole new concept in children's book publishing, The Art for Children series helps kids discover the world of visual art in a fun, intuitive manner. Using a wealth of images from around the globe and across the centuries, these eye-catching, attention-grabbing books encourage children to appreciate art in a way that is natural and absorbing. Each volume focuses on a significant aspect of art: portraits, the human figure, animals, and nature. Through clearly presented text and images, these books make it possible-and enjoyable-for young readers to explore a work of art on their own without needing an adult to explain it to them. Children will respond eagerly to these four wonderful books that are beautiful and don't "talk down" to them, while adults will gain the satisfaction of enlightening a new generation of art lovers.
