Look!: Zoom in on Art FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this fun and accessible book, children are encouraged to use their eyes to see paintings in a whole variety of ways. Each spread focuses on a different perspective with 14 perspectives in all. A simple text describes each painting. Children are encouraged to answer questions about the images, then to try an art activity of their own.
Look up, and we see a painting of a trapeze artist at the top of a circus tent ("The Flying Cordonos" by John Stewart Curry), and we gaze up at the vertical sides of jostling skyscrapers ("Windows" by Charles Sheeler).
Look again at the paintings of the vegetables. Things aren't quite what they seem. When you turn it upside down, there is the face of a gardener with a grinning mushroom mouth ("The Vegetable Gardener" by Guiseppe Arcimboldo).
