Oxford First Book of Art (Oxford First Books) di Gillian Wolfe
My 8-year-old and I really enjoyed learning about art this way: famous works of art with age-appropriate descriptions, a "Take a Closer Look" section for each category (like an "I Spy" version of art analysis), and a suggested activity for young children based on each particular piece. We're reading this to get ready to earn the "painting badge" for Spiral Scouts. Being that I'm SO not into art (way out of my league), this book is almost the perfect level for me, too!
Look! Seeing the light in Art is an introduction to the use of light in art. The artists and paintings span over a variety of cultures and time periods. Gillian Wolfe develops themes of how light is portrayed: dramatic, mysterious, light shapes, dappled light, and hot and cold light. This serves as a wonderful introduction to art history.
I liked this book. Art History can be a difficult subject to breach with young students. The language is varied, being more appropriate for older readers. There are some stretch words. It includes blurbs to interact the readers and start their own art projects. I liked the paintings Wolfe includes. The selection of paintings were not the typical selection or what I would have picked. An excellent introduction to art history.… (altro)

This book introduces the concept of how to look at art. Different angles, perspectrive, background, movement, camoflague, noticing light, checking out details. Useful for a study of art and has excellent picutres and paintings. Would be good for a study of illustration award winners.
