Product Description
COME LOOK WITH ME: Enjoying Landscape Art with Children is the second volume in the COME LOOK WITH ME series of interactive art books from Lickle Publishing. Each book in the series introduces children to twelve magnificent works of art. More importantly, they offer a whole new way of encountering any work of art, one that engages the imagination as much as the eye. Well suited for both individual and classroom use, Enjoying Landscape Art with Children pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging children to learn through visual exploration and interaction. Thoughtful text introduces the world and work of the artist, making the most of a childs natural curiosity. Children are asked to imagine themselves in the depicted work of art: to feel the winter child of Pieter Bruegels Hunters in the Snow or be in the jungle stillness of Henri Rousseaus The Repast of the Lion. Drawing from a wide-ranging selection of 20th century works of art, children explore the artwork, invited to pantomime the boldly swirling brush strokes of Vincent van Goghs The Starry Night or cover a figure in the foreground of George Inness Lackawanna Valley and consider how the painting would look without it. Engaging and interactive for both children and adults, Lickle Publishings COME LOOK WITH ME series celebrated what Mrs. Blizzard called the "pleasure of shared experience."

 Two boys' review: Investigative looking and thinking January 2, 2009
You've heard the saying before but this book "helps art come alive." My two sons, ages 6 and 4, were enthralled by the artwork. The secret to this book is on the back page, where author Gladys Blizzard offers these simple, yet essential directions:
Look at all the paintings again.
Choose the one that has your favorite colors.
Choose the one that makes you feel happiest.
Choose the one that makes you feel most frightened.
Choose the one you would most like to hike in.
Choose the one you would most like to bike in.
Choose the one you would most like to live in.
On another day, do this again. What you see, think, and feel may be different.
And then keep looking!
-----------------------------
This is our first experience with the "Come Look With Me" series of books. We fully intend to delve deeper and check out Come Look with Me: Enjoying Art with Children and Come Look With Me: Animals in Art.
As a final note, it was "Day and Night" by M.C. Escher and "The Oregon Trail" by Albert Bierstadt that interested my boys most.

All types of art and artists with questions to start conversation about the piece. Great for the elementary age.

I am a docent at an art museum and the goal is to get children develop a love of art. This book is exactly what will assist a child to enjoy art.
