Changed my appreciation of art
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I don't know much about art, had no art appreciation classes in school. So when I would go to art museums, I never really got it. I was one of those who thought, "what's so great about that, my 4 year old daughter could have painted it". I have tried to read college level art appreciation books, but found them so boring, I couldn't stay awake. I bought this for my daughter but I, myself, have gotten much more out of it. A children's book about art was the perfect pace for me, it taught me on the level I needed, the very basics. This book has completely changed how I look at art and now I love to go to museums. I have given several copies to family and friends. Now I look at art books with my daughter all the time. She loves museums.

My son is teaching 2nd and 3rd grade students art for 6 weeks. It is an internship program through the university he attends, with his major being in art. He has so much art knowledge, but needed to tailor it to be understandable for the kids' level. This book has given him some great information on how to do just that and he's looking at implementing several of the suggestions and projects.
Great ways to talk about art with kids

I found this book quite informative with many practical suggestions. It gives specific ideas for each age group, sample questions, etc. It also gives age appropriate definitions for words used in discussing art, like landscape, portrait, old masters, and others. A great book for parents or educators.
