Synopsis
COME LOOK WITH ME: WORLD OF PLAY is no dry discourse on art history or painting technique. Instead it pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging the child to enter the painting or sculpture and explore it through the artist's eyes, through the eyes of the people depicted, and through the child's own imagination.
Author Gladys S. Blizzard has chosen twelve fascinating works of art which, although diverse, all fall into the most child-friendly of themes, people at play. Works range from an ancient Minano fresco and a classic Winslow Homer to a wacky modern basketball game sculpted by Red Grooms in painted wood.

About the Author

Reviews
This book is the fourth in Thomasson-Grant's "Come Look with Me" series, which includes Enjoying Art with Children (1991), Exploring Landscape Art with Children ( LJ 3/1/92), and Animals in Art (1992). World of Play presents 12 works of art featuring people at play. Each work is paired with questions meant to stimulate discussion, and background on each artist represented is given. The selected works, which include an ancient Minoan fresco, a classic Winslow Homer, and a wacky modern basketball game sculpted by Red Grooms in painted wood, represent a variety of styles, techniques, and artists. Written for individuals or small groups of children, this book may be used in the home, classroom, or library. It effectively teaches children a way of looking at art and encourages them to share their understanding with others. Both children and adults can enjoy this useful book in art appreciation. Recommended for school and public libraries.
