About Art and How it Works

This enticing introduction to art appreciation for children looks at art history, themes in art, and art techniques--from cave paintings to modern art.

Art and How It Works looks at the history of art for kids--from prehistoric paintings, Impressionism, and abstract art, through to the art of today. It includes biographies of major artists, from Fra Angelico to David Hockney, and cuts through the jargon that surrounds the art world to offer a fresh, new, and accessible approach for children.
