Synopsis

Make the "classical connection!" Filled with the magic of mythology; images of sports and romance; exploits of appealing superheroes (like Hercules), and epic adventures of the Trojan War, every piece of Greek and Roman art has a story to tell. Introduce budding artists and archeologists to these ancient treasures in the most delightful way. Children will see how to distinguish Greek from Roman culture; learn why the Romans were the "perfect copycats"; find out how to read the images (often of heroes and legends) painted on pots and pictures; meet the gods and goddesses who ruled religion--and the emperors who nearly ruled the world; take a glance at the original Olympics; and step into history during one of the most exciting times of civilization. It will be the most unforgettable visit to a museum ever!

Reviews

Two new entries in the Off the Wall Museum Guides for Kids series, Greek and Roman Art and Modern Art by Ruthie Knapp and Janice Lehmberg, offer museum-goers tips on how to view art of those eras. The first explains common terms and uses of objects, as well as details about Greek and Roman culture; the second offers brief biographies of such artists as Edward Hopper and Jackson Pollack. Full-color photographs of artwork from a variety of museums are indexed in the back.
