About Come Look With Me, Latin American Art
Product Description Color reproductions of twelve masterpieces are accompanied by questions that encourage young readers to learn through visual exploration and interaction. Works from artists such as Diego Rivera (Mexico), Fernando Botero (Columbia), and Ramón Fradé (Puerto Rico) are included. Background information on the artist, the period, the medium, the technique, and the subject of the painting provide context for the art experience. From Booklist Like other Come Look with Me titles, this large-size volume, focused on Latin American art of the last two centuries, offers both art history and interactive exercises. Each spread features a clearly reproduced color artwork by a well-known artist such as Frida Kahlo or Xul Solar paired with brief text about the artist's life, techniques, favorite themes, and influences. Simple questions, accessible to a wide age range, appear in larger type at the top of each biography. Straightforward suggestions to help viewers study the contents of each image ("What kind of creature do you see in this painting?") mix with more imaginative queries ("If you were in this painting, what sounds could you hear?"). Readers may need help with political and cultural references, but the clear, approachable questions will easily guide them back to the experience of looking at and responding to each image. This attractive introduction to Latin American art and culture should attract plenty of browsers as well as young researchers. Engberg, Gillian About the Author The "Come Look with Me" series was created by Gladys S. Blizzard, whose experiences as an art teacher and work as a curator of education at Bayly Art Museum at the University of Virginia served as the basis for this educational style.
