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.

This exciting addition to a highly acclaimed series of art titles focuses on how artists use light in their paintings. Showcasing some of the most famous and best-loved artists of all time, the book shows how their paintings use dramatic light, mysterious light, cold light, hot light, dappled light, rainy light, and other forms of light. Gillian Wolfe's interactive technique encourages readers to engage with the works and to think about how they would employ these methods to recreate the same effect themselves. Conveying a substantial amount of information in an accessible and entertaining format, Look! Seeing the Light in Art lets readers of all ages think about what makes great paintings so successful and innovative, while offering them another point of entry to a wide range of famous works of art.
