Well suited for both individual and classroom use, Exploring Modern Art pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging children to learn through visual exploration and interaction. Thoughtful text introduces the world and work of the artist, making the most of a child’s natural curiosity.
Children enter the feelings and flat shapes of Henri Matisse’s The Red Room (Harmony in Red); they compare Pablo Picasso’s Horse Head Mask with a firespitter mask from the Ivory Coast; they imagine the expression on the face of the young girl in Diego Rivera’s The Flower Vendor (Girl With Lilies).
Art historians and educators from Bank Street College of Education in New York City proudly present the subsequent books in this series. For more than eighty years, Bank Street has been a leader in child-centered education. Bank Street’s approach views all children as active learners, experimenters, explorers and artists. Engaging and interactive for both children and adults, Bank Street’s additions to Lickle Publishing’s COME LOOK WITH ME series celebrate what Mrs. Blizzard called the "pleasure of shared experience."
