By: R. Sarah Richardson with The Bank Street College of Education
Well suited for both individual and classroom use, The Artist at Work 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 child’s natural curiosity.
Children imagine themselves within the vast landscape of Albert Bierstadt’s The Oregon Trail, they are challenged to pose their own bodies like that of a ballerina in Edgar Degas’ Dancer Lacing Her Ballet Slipper; they can make up a story about William Michael Harnett’s intensely realistic The Old Violin.
