Great Pictures and Their Stories Book Five - Interpreting Masterpieces to Children

This series of nine graded readers introduces children to a greater appreciation of art, each at an age-appropriate level. For each color masterpiece presented, the child learns something of the story behind the picture and the artist who created it, as well as notes on the use of color, line, and light, and how the composition helps to tell the story the artist intended. Many of the works provide some context of the culture or geography they represent, bringing students to a greater understanding of these differences. Musical selections are even suggested to supplement the mood of the artwork.

These books are a high-quality facsimile of the originals, except for the artwork, which we have replaced with larger, clearer and more vibrant reproductions to allow for better visibility of the details described in the text.
