How Artists See Families - Mother Father Sister Brother

"The first two volumes in a relaunch of the best-selling series that encourages children to learn about the world by looking at art, and about art by looking at the world How Artists See is a series of interactive, inquiry-based books designed to teach children the art of observation and increase their visual literacy. Each volume presents eighteen diverse works of art, all devoted to a subject that kids know from personal experience. Author Colleen Carroll's friendly, conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions that promote exploration, self-expression, and fun. In these revised and redesigned editions of two classic How Artists See titles, more than half the artworks are newly selected-and they range from contemporary Latin American street art to an ancient Greek coin. How Artists See Animals invites children to discover how Andy Warhol's rhinoceros recalls a prehistoric cave painting, how Frank Gehry turned a fish's sleek aquatic shape into architecture, and how Georgia O'Keefe captured a bird in flight using just a few curving lines. And How Artists See Families reveals how Barbara Hepworth evoked a mother's love with stone shapes, how Kehinde Wiley depicted the strength of sisterhood in a portrait, and how Van Gogh painted the joyous moment of a baby's first steps"--
