If you're a child, you're most likely to look at a painting in a concrete way—what do you actually see in the painting? Is it a picture of a vase of flowers or a river surrounded by pastures of grazing sheep? It gets more difficult as the style of painting moves farther away from a realistic portrayal fo its subject. In the \u003ci\u003eCome Look With Me\u003c\/i\u003e series of art appreciation picture books for children, children are guided by a series of questions to look and think about each of 12 paintings. The text for children is in larger type face, below which are several paragraphs that offer a description of the painting and give us ideas about how to address the painting's content. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e IN \u003ci\u003eCome Look With Me: Exploring Landscape Art with Children\u003c\/i\u003e, the theme is landscape paintings. The 12 paintings include realistic paintings like Albert Bierstadt's \u003ci\u003eThe Oregon Trail\u003c\/i\u003e, Vincent van Gogh's \u003ci\u003eThe Starry Night\u003c\/i\u003e with its swirls of color, M.C. Escher's \u003ci\u003eDay and Night\u003c\/i\u003e, and the abstract artist Helen Frankenthaler's \u003ci\u003eMountains and Sea\u003c\/i\u003e. Each painting is presented as an opportunity to imagine and study. For example, the first question about Pieter Breugel the Elder's painting \u003ci\u003eHunters in the Snow\u003c\/i\u003e asks how the artist shows us that this is a cold winter day. Children are invited to compare paintings to others in the book and to look at the brush strokes in a painting. This is not formal art instruction with labels and such that often comes between the viewer and a painting and the seeming requirement that if you can't say something intelligent about a painting you shouldn't say anything at all. This book encourages conversation and personal engagement with a painting shed of the trappings of traditional art appreciation. It's what art appreciation really should be. It is more \"why do you think\" type of questions than any other kind of question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/exploring-landscape-art-cvr.jpg?17693471352875252469\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/come-look-exploring-landscape-art-hires.zip?17693471352875252469\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-0-934738-95-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 5 and up\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e9 \u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e x 9 \u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\/\u003csub\u003e4\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2015-08-15T19:44:00-04:00","created_at":"2015-08-15T19:15:38-04:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 3-6","Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Nonfiction","Browse by Format_Picture Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Art\/Music\/Theater","Browse by Subject_Geography","Browse by Subject_History \u0026 Biography","Browse by Subject_Science \u0026 Nature"],"price":1695,"price_min":1695,"price_max":1695,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":5765457921,"title":"Hardcover","option1":"Hardcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"38958","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Come Look With Me: Exploring Landscape Art with Children - Hardcover","public_title":"Hardcover","options":["Hardcover"],"price":1695,"weight":369,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":8,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-0-934738-95-8","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/imaginebooks.net\/cdn\/shop\/products\/come-look-exploring-landscape-art-cover.jpg?v=1586788789"],"featured_image":"\/\/imaginebooks.net\/cdn\/shop\/products\/come-look-exploring-landscape-art-cover.jpg?v=1586788789","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Come Look With Me: Exploring Landscape Art with Children book cover","id":2454130622543,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"width":600,"src":"\/\/imaginebooks.net\/cdn\/shop\/products\/come-look-exploring-landscape-art-cover.jpg?v=1586788789"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/imaginebooks.net\/cdn\/shop\/products\/come-look-exploring-landscape-art-cover.jpg?v=1586788789","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca title=\"Author Gladys S.
