This NEW Big Ideas Series book introduces art as something children can use, not just study. It shows how art connects to our feelings, helps us understand ourselves, and can bring comfort, excitement and joy. Readers will learn how to look at art without feeling bored, what kinds of art might help in different moods, and why everyone becomes an art expert long before they ever visit a museum.
Clear, engaging and reassuring, this book encourages children to be curious, confident and independent in their responses to art — while quietly offering adults a fresh way to think about it too.
