are丛书,让孩子从更灵活、有趣的视角了解艺术知识。

Grade 1-3-The conceit behind these biographies is that they were
written by elementary-grade students as reports on the painters.
Each book opens with a letter from their teacher, "Ms. Brandt,"
outlining some questions the student might want to think about when
preparing the assignment: why did you pick this artist; if you
could ask him or he
在所有印象派画家中,雷诺阿也许是最受欢迎的一位,因为他所画的都是漂亮的儿童,花朵,美丽的景色,特别是可爱的女人。这些都会立刻把人吸引住。雷诺阿把从他们那里所得到的赏心悦目的感觉直接地表达在画布上。他曾说过:“为什么艺术不能是美的呢?世界上丑恶的事已经够多的了”。
With a clear, accessible format, the Smart About
Art series kicks off with Edgar Degas: Paintings that Dance by
Maryann Cocca-Leffler; Claude Monet: Sunshine and Waterlilies by
True Kelley; and Vincent van Gogh: Sunflowers and Swirly Stars by
Joan Holub. Each presents factual information about each artist in
the style of a school report, interjecting the narrative with the
voice of a child writer. In Degas, for instance, "author" Kristin
pastes in a photograph of herself in fourth position aping one of
Degas''s sketches of a ballet dancer; in Monet, the narrator
compares two paintings of the same scene, one by Renoir and one by
Monet. Full-color photos and reproductions of the paintings
illustrate the text.
