Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Taken from Chapter 1: Animals in art Sometimes animals were worshipped as gods or used as symbols of power or good luck. In Ancient Egypt, the cat was thought to be a goddess who guarded people against diseases and evil spirits. At other times, animals were painted or sculpted because of their beauty or because they were much-loved pets. Before photography, explorers took artists with them on their expeditions so that they could paint the animals they found. These paintings were often realistic and gave people who had never seen a wild animal an idea of how it looked.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4?The marriage of form and content in an art series is often difficult to manage. These titles successfully balance the amount of information and the activities presented to reinforce the experience. Readers learn about depicting animals, landscapes, portraits, or stories by exploring six works of fine art and are then given suggestions for their own artistic expressions. This is accomplished through the use of vivid full-color photographs, illustrations, as well as samples of children's art. Although the discussion of each piece of art is brief, it includes relevant details about the work's obvious features in a lively and succinct manner. Similarly, the directives leading toward self-expression are brief, yet complete, utilizing several mediums and easily found materials. Making use of children's art as illustrative examples provides a tangible expression of the ideas for youngsters to see. By combining art appreciation with instruction, these books present a unique approach to the subject.?Amelia Kalin, Valley Cottage Library, NY
