2024
Book
Get ready for a fun-filled illustrated journey through art! From cave paintings to abstract sculptures, explore how artists were inspired by the world around them, how their techniques and styles evolved over time, and how their art changed the world. Why is art important? What's so great about it? In this book, you'll see the world through famous artists' eyes, learning what inspired them to make art. Did you know that early humans spent a great deal of time on their cave paintings? And that before cameras were invented, the only way to record your face was to sit for a portrait? Many artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo, used art as a language to express their feelings, thoughts, and emotions.
