內容簡介: |
Abbeville Kids expands its award-winning series of
interactive, inquiry-based books designed to teach children about
the world by looking at art, and about art by looking at the world.
Each volume in this innovative best-selling series, with over
200,000 in print, is devoted to a subject that every child already
knows from personal experience. In How Artists See America, sixteen
works of art show the many different ways a selection of great
artists--from Winslow Homer and Childe Hassam to Georgia O''Keeffe
and Romare Bearden--have perceived the breathtaking variety of
landscapes and the diversity of people living in the four major
regions of the United States. Author Colleen Carroll''s engaging,
conversational text is filled with thought-provoking questions and
imaginative activities that spark children''s natural curiosity both
about the subject of the artwork and about the way it was created.
This direct, interactive approach to art--and to the
world--promotes self-exploration, self-discovery, and
self-expression. As it introduces artistic concepts, styles, and
techniques, it also provides loads of fun. For children who want to
know more about the artists whose works appear in the book,
biographies are provided at the end, along with suggestions for
further reading and an international list of museums where each
artist''s works can be seen. As they begin to understand the
multitude of ways that artists see, children naturally deepen their
appreciation of art, the world around them, and most important,
their own unique vision.
