Seen Art?

This is a great introduction to Art - with a fun premise and good information. My kids and I both love to read it!

This is a great book for all ages.... I will use it in my elementary art class and High school class. A college professor recomended "Math Curse" and I looked it up and found one on art! He said "as a teacher, you have to be obsessed with your subject." So I was and purchased this book and it is GREAT!

As an art teacher who has collected many books in my career, this one is one of the better ones. It introduces it's audience to masters in art while maintaining a simple plot for it's readers. Good for adults and kids alike.

What is art? people have been trying to figure this out for centuries. this book introduces the eternal question to children in a fun, silly way, as well as different genres of art and the hilarious pompousness of art critics. the innocent hero just wants to find his friend Art, but everyone keeps showing him new room in the museum. children will appriciate the collage of sparse illustrations and famous art works, as well as the implied commentary about the innocence of children and the silliness of grown-ups.

I absolutely love this author. I also love how he takes already often established text and tells a story from another point of view. This books is on Art of some very famous artist. Rich language and lots to learn from this book. Great addition to any children's library and to any art study program.
