Books with author Gillian W. Wood

In this fun and accessible book, children learn to develop their ability to “see” art in new ways. Each spread features a different painting and focuses on a different perspective — up, down, around, inside, outside, and more. Simple text and questions invite children to examine each work more closely, giving them a better understanding of the painting and of artistic techniques. Engaging art activities offer additional participation and stimulation. The paintings represent a broad range of periods and include works by Mondrian, van Gogh, John Stewart Curry, Charles Sheeler, and Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
