Product Description Why are none of the students in Raphael's school paying attention? Who made a doodle into a masterpiece? How do you paint speed? Can collecting things be art? What kind of sculpture is supposed to disappear? Can you trust a painting? How would you make a self-portrait of yourself? Can you paint music? Following the international success of THE ART BOOK FOR CHILDREN (BOOK ONE), this second volume will continue to expand the minds and creativity of children aged from seven to eleven. Thirty new artists and key examples of their works have been selected to encourage children to ask why the artists do what they do. Both volumes of THE ART BOOK FOR CHILDREN are fun for young readers, ideal tools for teachers and parents, and perfect introductions for all those approaching art for the first time. Customer reviews our three year old granddaughter loves it. we are now on to volume 2  by .. poppi and grandmom (long island, new york)
we sent this book to our three year old granddaughter. she not only loves the pictures, the pictures lead her to also concentrate on learning letters and words. it is a book that she will continue to "read" in more and more depth for a long time. we highly recommend this book.
Stunning introduction to fine art for kids (and anyone) - puts the focus on the details. by .. Joshua G. Feldman (New York)
This isn't a book for little kids (although little kids might enjoy looking at it). It's a big colorful book with lots of eclectic art masterpieces - from the Renaissance to the conceptual modern sculpture - with thoughtful analysis and wealth of break out images highlighting particular details and concepts. The analysis text is pitched at smart late elementary aged kids (2nd-3rd grade through 7th, I'd say). I found I was getting a lot out of it too. I love the variety and pacing of the artistic selections. The radical changes page to page with keep kids' attention. The breadth helps introduce kids to the broad spectrum of art. The focus on detail, analysis, and comprehension helps convey to kids the language and forms of art appreciation. Any kid will find this at least diverting. For certain kids - the ones who have a special affinity for art - this book will be a revelation and might change their lives. Highly recommended.
Jump start your creative juices by .. M. Pharr (Asheville, NC United States)
I checked this out from the library and kept it so long, I decided I needed to have my own copy. I am purchasing it, not only for myself and children to look at and discover the art, but as a resource for art projects at the camp I work for. It gets your wheels turning about all the different media and types of art.
Great interactive art book! by .. D. Croker (Nashville, TN USA)
This book, along with the Art Book for Children Book One, is a wonderfully imaginative collection of art. Each piece is complemented with great background on the work of art and interactive questions. This isn't an academic resource with a lot of historical or biographical detail, but one that will instill wonder in the reader (including adults). It is PERFECT for children, whether they love to draw or not, and for the folks who read these books to kids. Moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grannies and grandpas -- you'll be really thanked if you get these for the children in your life. Both of my girls, ages 5 and 9, love these two books. Buy them both!
a phenomenal book by .. Steve J. Zembsch ()
great, insightful work; my kids love it and adults will get a lot out of it too.

Product Description The Art Book is the first fully illustrated art dictionary. It presents a feast of famous, varied and colourful images by 500 of the greatest artists from the Middle Ages to the present day. Arranged in alphabetical order by artist, it is easy to use. With one large, quintessential image per artist, and an informative text that discusses the work in detail as well as offering information about its creator, The Art Book is both educational and fun. With the turn of every page The Art Book reveals the works that make up the rich heritage of Western Art, including altarpieces, installations, books of hours, oil paintings, frescos, sculptures, watercolours, prints, ready-mades, collages and many more. Aimed at teenagers and adults alike The Art Book is for all those who wish to learn about art without being overwhelmed by complicated theories and art historical developments. Easy to use cross references take you on a journey through the book, to other artists who worked in the same style and other ways the same subject has been treated across the centuries. Glossaries of movements and technical terms explain the sometimes confusing jargon of art historians in simple terms; and an international directory of galleries and museums list the works that are on view to the public. Presenting a fresh way of looking at art, this book is an invaluable resource for reference and inspiration in every home, school, library or studio. Ideal for those coming to art for the first time, it also serves as a visual sourcebook for teachers and designers, and will be a constant source of stimulus and delight for anyone wishing to look at art with a fresh eye. Customer reviews size matters by .. Paul Wagner (California)
Be advised that this wonderful book comes in different sized editions. My hardback edition of 1994 measures 10 x 12 inches, and the color quality of the large reproductions and the text size are everything you could wish for.
Read easily with a microscope!!  by .. Jason Turner (Hollywood, California, USA)
Due to the size of the art prints and the barely visible text,, the book is close to worthless. These paintings were never meant to be shrunken down to this size. The actual book is not much bigger than a paperback. Very disappointing. Very misleading. Total waste of money. I'm surprised Amazon chose to market it.
The Art Book by .. K. Barros (Ohio, USA)
Small compact paperbook can take with me when traveling. Am enjoying the brevity, but not as much the small print type, but still very enjoyable book.
A Super Book of Art by .. kat j (houston, tx, usa)
I love this book. It shows a beautiful example of the artists work in alphabetical order and a great short history of each artist. I discovered a lot of artists I wasn't familiar with. It's a great quick reference and easy/enjoyable reading. It's more than I expected! A must for anyone interested in art/artists.
Indispensable by .. A. Joseph Stoddart (New York, NY United States)
A bargain at the cover price and even better at the prices listed here at Amazon. I have copies at both my homes and am always referring to it. Would that Phaidon could do the same for music and lovers of great literature.

Customer reviews Finally - some inspiration! by .. Sherri L. Munro (Chicago, IL USA)
I have been a quilter for many years now, and last year fell into a creative funk. Unable to think of any new and creative ideas for quilts I began to dread walking into my studio, because I knew that I would only find disappointment and "quilter's block" there. Then for my Birthday my husband gave me this book, The Quilting Arts Book, and said that he hoped I would become inspired by what I found there. Doubtful, I began to read the book and to my surprise I began to feel the old tingle of creative excitement return. This book has inspired me to try new things with my art. For the first time I actually am inspired to create art out of recycled materials - the project which Patricia recommends is amazing and I am currently in the process of a year long journey to create a recycled masterpiece. With beautiful illustrations and pictures, along with detailed suggestions and explanations, Patricia Bolton has truly inspired my work. In addition to the great tips, Ms. Bolton inserts tidbits of her own life, thus creating an enjoyable and humorous read. This is honestly the best collection of projects that I have seen in many years.
I am very disappointed in the Quilting Arts Book by .. Constance M. Peterson (California)
I am very disappointed in the Quilting Arts Book. I expected new techniques and ideas; however, the articles in the book have been previously published.
Those of us that have the back copies of Quilting Arts or are receiving the magazine already have those articles why would we want another copy of them? Moreover, Rose Hughes' article on "The Heartfelt Landscape" is direct copy from her book; "Dream Landscapes" (have that book too).
If you do not have any issues of Quilting Arts Magazines, then this book might be for you. It is beautiful done. However, if you are receiving Quilting Arts Magazine, don't waste your money.
An Awesome Art Quilting Book! by .. Belinda Spiwak (Aurora, IL USA)
I am relatively new to art quilting. I started working with fabric seriously for about a year now. I have been a mixed media artist for several years. I have gone over to the "other side" now. I spend more time on my sewing machine and beading. I don't do half as much with paper than I used to. I don't use glue as much either. I even sew paper together now!
I have been a subscriber to Quilting Arts for the past year or so. I have been a subscriber to Cloth Paper Scissors since its first issue. I cannot tell you how true the other reviews are since I do not have all the QA magazine issues. I can tell you that I really like this book. I cannot do traditional quilting and make up a lot of the stuff I do with fabric as I go along. This book gives me a lot of ideas for future projects.
The pictures in this book are fantastic. They are very detailed. I hate art books that do black and white pictures. There are a lot of ideas that you can glean from this book. I like how Linda and Laura Kemshall turn something real into an art quilt.
I have seen a lot of articles and blog entries about how some artists keep sketches of what they are going to do and then create a quilt or art piece from that. I don't do that much. My vision does not transfer well onto paper unless it is my finished project. It does not mean that I don't enjoy seeing how the sketch looks as a finished quilt. I love Melanie Testa's playful bear in her quilt.
There are plenty of techniques to try in this book. I was happily surprised to see composition being addressed in this book. I am big on composition. Art quilting is a great vehicle for me. I can work with more natural/recycled elements and not think so much about the focal points. Color, texture, and shapes are my focal images in fabric art. I can work more abstractly. A lot of the same design principles for paper collage apply in art quilting. You can do a lot of the same things on fabric as your foundation that you do on paper. Think of sewing with a machine or needle and thread as your glue.
Someone remarked about how this book was just for beginners. I think that people who are not traditional quilters but are interested in fabric art/art quilting can get a lot out of this book. There is one section on different ways to assemble an art quilt. There is one section that I really like on Free Motion quilting. There is a three page spread on different free motion techniques to try.
I have a felting machine. Beryl Taylor's article on quilting and needlefelting gave me some ideas for a future quilting project.I have Shiva metallic paintstiks but have not used them a lot. This book gave me some ideas to start using them. Some of the techniques in this book are rather foreign to me but they are interesting. I am not sure that I would ever use them but they were very ineresting to look at. The pictures were fab.
I will definitely have to try the discharging technique with bleach. Could make for some fantastic backgrounds. Layered printmaking called to me because I love to screen print my fabrics. I have a ton of stencils and stamps that i can use. I layer everything that I do. There is a section on digital quilts. I don't do that much even though I do use Photoshop.
There is one article with detailed technique steps. It is called a Study in a Still Life. I will definitely have to try that. I have done it with paper and some of my art quilts but have not done it this way. I am always looking for new ways to do things. There is also a great article called The Art of Abstraction. It is a great way for someone who is not comfortable with abstract to give it a try to be more creative.
The end of the book has a very good appendix alled the Art Quilter's Pantry. It explains a lot of terms that fabric artists and quilters use.
I liked this book so much that I bought another copy for a friend as a birthday present.
Quilting Arts Book by Quilting Arts Magazine  by .. Cheri L. Atkinson (Land of Enchantment)
This book has great projects but seems more aimed at the beginning quilter. I haven't had time to personally try any projects (I haven't found any that MOVE me enough to try) but I might find a technique if I really scour the book.
Interesting mix of contemporary quilt techniques  by .. Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA)
This book is a compilation of featured articles in "Quilting Arts" Magazine. So if you retained a full set of this magazine's back issues, this book may be a duplicate of that information. However, I find that book form is a convenient way to access magazine articles, especially with a handy table of contents. So if you don't have back issues or you would love the magazine in a book form, this book may be just what you are looking for.
The quilting arts in this book focus on more contemporary techniques. The techniques inclued free form quilting, fusing, using metallic foils, quilting from paper and even using paint or wax crayons on fabric. There are suggestions for keeping a design notebook--probably a good idea if you are doing semi-abstract or very free-form quilting art.
The book is lavishly illustrated with good pictures and inspiring examples of quilt art. I even got some inspiration for watercolor or collage by looking at the works featured here. And I had never seen foils used on fabric before. So if you are looking to branch out into new fiber art ideas, there could be food for thought, if not outright "eye-candy" for you here. I certainly got some new ideas.
This book, however, is probably not for the traditional quilter, unless you are looking to branch out in new directions for your craft. But if you are a fabric or fiber artist, and there are many of you out there, the ideas in this book are inspiring.

Out of date...  by .. Art Teacher 123 (usa)
This book is so out of date. This book is just what it says, a book of lists. There is nothing in this book that I couldn't find in about 30 seconds online. If you don't have a computer in your room then it would be a good resources, but if you use the internet then it is a complete waste of money.
Great...but out of date! by .. E. Rogers ()
I have been teaching art for 10 years and refer to this book often when I need to find definitions, artists names and work, quotes, or quick ideas. But, now that the internet has become such a reliable source, it needs to be updated with websites that are helpful to the art teacher!!! I find myself looking on the internet for hours searching through all of the information. Wouldn't it be great to add a page or two to this book of lists!

Product Description Every work of art begins with the stroke of a pencil—a line, curve, or shape. And the creation of a masterpiece only requires additional inspiration and initiative. In The Art Doodle Book, the beginnings of drawings based on the works of twenty-six of the world’s most renowned artists, including Chagall, da Vinci, Degas, Hokusai, Matisse, Rembrandt, and Warhol, serve as starting points for the aspiring artist. Prompted by a boat in a Monet or an eye in a Picasso, doodlers of all ages are encouraged to embellish and create original and exciting masterpieces of their own.
The doodles are accompanied by a finished work by the artist who inspired them, along with a mini-biography detailing the artist’s style and their own sources of inspiration. For anyone who ever looked at a work of art and thought they could have done it better, The Art Doodle Book is the perfect gift. Customer reviews Horrible by .. S. Dolan (New England, United States)
This book looks like it was written for small children who are just learning to hold a pencil.

Product Description "The 20th Century Art Book" was hailed upon its release as an exciting celebration of the myriad forms assumed by art over the last century.

Covering the truly international nature of the modern art scene, it encompasses established, iconic works of art and the classics of the future. 500 artists are showcased in alphabetical order, each represented by a full-page colour plate of a definitive work and an incisive text which sheds light on both image and creator. This book is above all easy to use: cross-references help the reader make connections between artists; there is a jargon-free glossary of artistic terms and movements; and an international directory of museums and galleries lists the works on public view. Ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time, it is a fun and unintimidating look at the ever-expanding boundaries of art. Customer reviews Classique et classieux by ..

Intéressante présentation de peintures modernes, pour la plupart connues et appréciées de par le monde. Ouvrage copieux qui se lit et se regarde facilement et permet une approche relativement aisée de ce qui s'est fait de mieux du XIXe au XXe siècles. Instructif et cohérent.
don't judge a book by it's cover by .. J. Mcbay ()
this book has a really cool cover design but i found the art depicted inside extremely disturbing. do not look at this 'art' until you are familiar with the term dadaism. this is the opposite of art, 'anti art'. spend your money elsewhere.
good by .. Zheng Yuanwei (guangzhou,china)
it is a dictionary of the 20th century art,i can look through the artists and their work.
Great Reference! by .. S. Angus ()
I bought this book as a supplimental text for my 20th Century Art History class and I'm so glad I did! It's a great book for anyone who's interested in art- or for those who hear an artist's name mentioned and wants to check that artist out. The fact that the artists are in alphabetical order makes this a very easy to use reference.

Product Description From cave paintings to the Renaissance, Impressionism to Pop Art, The Collins Big Book of Art takes you on a journey through the history of art in a delightful and informative way. With more than 1,200 works of art represented, this is both a coffee table book and an educational experience; cross-referenced throughout, and including the following sections and features: A Chronology spans the history of art, step by step. from 38,000 B.C. to the present. Pieces from around the world are juxtaposed to place them in historical context. Each is labeled with date, country, title, artist, materials, size, and current location. In addition, each piece of art is tied to its movement and key themes, which are pursued in greater detail in the other sections of the book. Turning Points, interspersed throughout the chronology, delve into both the major artistic movements and highlight the technical breakthroughs which changed how artists of the time worked, and affected how they saw the world. For example, the glass lens allowed more lifelike portraiture in the early Renaissance, the ability to put paint into tubes gave the Impressionists the freedom to work outdoors, and Freud’s work in psychoanalysis had a major impact on Surrealism. The second part of the book explores enduring Themes of art, taking a subject and showing how artists through the ages have depicted it. Various approaches to portraits and landscapes, allegory and religion, still life and abstraction are compared and contrasted, using carefully selected images to illuminate each point made. In addition, an extensive Reference section allows the reader to access information in numerous ways; the multiple indices include a glossary of terms, artists registry, index of museums, and more. With easy navigation and an engaging presentation of the material, The Collins Big Book of Art will inform, inspire, and entertain art enthusiasts at any level of understanding and appreciation. Customer reviews The Big Book of Art by .. Deborah J. Chapin (Seabrook, MD)
This is a great history book on art for like they say an overview from cave paintings to pop art. Most of the materials have been compiled before in several volumns on various topics so if you want it all in one spot and a general survey of it this is great. There is, however, a disconnect to the renaissance happening in Today's Art, both realistic traditional and digital contemporary. It seems just a tad superficial that you can cover art all in a one stop read method, so for people who really want to delve into a particular aspect of art you'll need to continue reading the separate references.

Artistic Journey and Psychology of Art by .. gobirds2 (New England)
This volume takes you through the history of art in a way that embraces the reader like none other. There is order here in the way the material is presented. It is very logical and helps explain quite a bit of what has gone on since the first artistic expressions were created. You can feel your way through history and find a clear development of artistic techniques and styles. There is a definite reason behind these and it is explained with great feeling. There is quite a bit of psychology about the subject matter of what is on the canvas. Why does an artist or group of artists choose to capture something in a particular way? This is a quite a book.

Brilliant for school holidays! by .. M. Fonti (Australia)
My 5 year daughter and I have been having heaps of fun creating the art in this book. While my 2 year old son has an afternoon sleep we can complete one of these activities. The materials are mostly household items and the rest are easy to come by. It's very well presented with easy to follow steps. It's got all the old "classics" - paper dolls, papier-mache, spoon puppets and the egg carton caterpillar. A much better way to fill in an afternoon than her watching a movie while I clean the house!

Simple, realistic art projects for toddlers and preschoolers by .. Lisa Uotinen (Daleville, Virginia)
I have a three-year old daughter with whom I wanted to explore arts and crafts. I looked at many different arts and crafts books before choosing this one to buy. Many other books that I looked at had projects that had complicated instructions or used materials that were expensive. I needed a book that I could pull off the bookshelf, open up, and pick a suitable art project quickly. Little Hands has realistic projects- by that, I mean projects that are meaningful, uncomplicated, and use basic materials that you're likely to have around the house.
