A lifelong love of art is one of the greatest gifts an adult can bestow on a child-and no period of art is better loved or more available to children than Impressionism. Monet and the Impressionists for Kids invites children to delight in Cassatts mothers and children, Renoirs dancing couples, and Gaugins island scenes; 21 activities explore Monets quick shimmering brush strokes, Cezannes brilliant rectangles of color, Seurats pointillism, and Degas sculpture-like circles of dancers. Kids will learn how the artists friendships sustained them through repeated rejection by the Parisian art world, and how they lived, painted, and thrilled to the vibrant life of Paris at the approach of the 20th century. A resource section guides readers to important museums and Web sites around the world.
