Under the playful guidance of Leo, an art rebel cat with a cause, this book takes young readers on an alternative tour of an art museum to discover eight different types of art: portraits, surrealism, ancient sculpture, abstract art, naked people in art, still-life paintings, and contemporary art.Instead of telling children what they ought to know, Leo equips his readers with enough knowledge to respond to art on their own terms. Knowing how symbols work, theyll decipher clues in Frida Kahlos self-portrait. Understanding surrealism, theyll decide for themselves what Joan Mirs doodles are all about. And with some insight into the stories behind classical sculptures, theyll discover that antiquity wasnt as gray and boring as it might seem. Along the way, theyll learn about a diverse range of artists from around the world and art movements throughout history.How to Be an Art Rebel |
