Review from Amazon : Claire B.
“Wonderfully illustrated book that kids love because it is NOT overwhelming. It is not overpacked with illustrations, not overloaded with facts. It is what it should be, a gentle and solid basic introduction to some basic art pieces, that illustrate in the profound way the major art periods comes to painting. It allows a child to grasp the concept and take it from there.
The book covers the following:
Naturalism
Mannerism
Neoclassicism
Romanticism
Realism
Impressionism
Pointillism
Fauvism
Cubism
Futurism
Surrealism
Abstract Expressionism
Op Art
Photo Realism.
A must for any parent who wants to give a little artist solid basic painting art history, a child, an art teacher who wants to help the students to grasp the concept of changes in art through the ages.”
