The Horn Book
With only two sentences per page, these are simple introductions to some types of visual arts for young children. Illustrations include reproductions of famous works in different styles. Photos show children painting, drawing, and making collages, helping readers see connections between the featured art and possibilities for their own creative work, as well as providing inspiration and encouraging expressiveness.

This series explains art forms to early elementary students in straightforward language, with examples drawn from a wide range of countries. Every page features two simple sentences in large font under a color photograph. The layout is eye-catching and appealing. A craft activity based on the lesson concludes each volume. With the exception of Photographs, which requires the use of a digital camera, all crafts use common household items. Glossary. Table of Contents. Index.
