  This introduction to the joys of art, for young children, represents a varied collection of images - paintings, drawings, sculpture and textiles - from all around the world and down through the ages. Pictures are grouped by themes beginning with subjects close to home, such as Mother and Child and Faces , and developing to more abstract ideas such as Light , Patterns and Shapes . Reproductions and text encourage children to get involved with the pictures, to look closely and to give their own reactions. For every theme there is an Art Activity , to show how to apply the ideas they have been looking at in their own art.
