Super Intro to Fine Art July 26, 2010
MEA
I was delighted to find another copy of this book at Amazon for another grandchild. I've had one for several years and don't remember where I found it. I have shared it several times with a 4-yr old granddaughter. The familiar characters 'bring' the little ones in and soon they are learning valuable information a little or a lot depending on what they can absorb at the moment.

I-NITA BOOK! (Michigan, USA)
This book on the history of art and why art is the way it is, kept my 7 year old spell bound. It created positive conversations about emotions and exaggerations in paintings. This book was originally for our 4 year old because she is more of the artist. She enjoyed the pictures but did not stay interested very long.
An excellent, gorgeous and highly accessible book February 13, 2005
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Disney Looking At Paintings: An Introduction To Fine Art For Young People uses Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Pluto to show young readers the majesty and imagination present in great works. Full-color, finely reproduced images of classic artworks captivate the eye on almost every page. The text renders artistic concepts in readily accessible terms. Chapters address how shape, size, color, light and dark, motion, materials and more are applied in works of art ranging in style from impressionism to realism to modern art and much more. Simple quizzes help reinforce the lessons about art learned in this excellent, gorgeous and highly accessible book, superb for reading aloud to young ones or letting them discover on their own.
