Impressionism for Children: Impressionist and Post-Impressionist Paintings Chosen for Children

Impressionism For Children is a beautiful book of 22 full page colour prints of paintings, chosen for children. These paintings are full of glorious colour and natural light. They capture the movement, joy and wonder of childhood: sand sifting through fingers; ships cutting through water; the whitest of clouds against brilliant blue skies. Artists from a variety of countries are represented, including Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Vincent van Gogh, Auguste Renoir and Winslow Homer. Some paintings are very famous; others are hidden gems. Impressionism for Children is a wonderful way to introduce your child to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. It can also be used as a picture study curriculum for early years education. Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists are both represented in the collection of paintings: “In this volume, the two styles are put together simply as a feast of beautiful art for young children. So much of work of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism resonates with the observations and wonder of childhood: the way the light falls, the vivid colours, ordinary moments of family love and the everyday scenes of work and play.” Although compiled to be suitable for young children, this book is equally enjoyable for older children and adults. The paintings are presented in full colour on the right hand page, with the title and artist written on the left hand page, also in colour. The cover features ‘Ships Riding on the Seine by Rouen ‘ by Claude Monet. Impressionism for Children has a strong, glossy paperback cover. The volume is 52 pages in total and is A4/Letter sized. Impressionism for Children was created by The Imagination Feast. See our Amazon page for more beautiful books for children.
