Art History

The Come Look with Me Series is no dry discourse on art history or painting technique. Instead, it pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging the child to enter the painting or sculpture and explore it through the artist's eyes, through the eyes of the people depicted, and through the child's own imagination.

Each work of art is paired with simple, open-ended questions and a brief background on the artist and his or her work, providing adults with added understanding and a basis for further discussion.

The Handy Art History Answer Book is organized chronologically with chapters on the art of the ancient world, baroque and beyond, the modern world during and after the world wars and more. The easy-to-browse Q-and-A format is highly readable, featuring header questions with bolded key words and short answers of one or more paragraphs that provide a basic answer. 1,000+ questions are included, and cover art fundamentals, the basics of architecture, and finding meaning in art. 304 pages. Softcover.
