An Eye for Art
Focusing on Great Artists and Their Work
This family-oriented art resource introduces children to more than 50 great artists and their work, with corresponding activities and explorations that inspire artistic development, focused looking, and creative writing. Grouped around seven general themes, the book highlights works from different time periods to encourage comparisons among them. We hope the book will inspire children to develop "an eye for art."
