It isn't often that children get the chance to learn about the inner workings of an art museum. This delightful kit will let them practice restoring an artwork, arrange a gallery exhibition the way they would like it arranged, learn new ways to look at paintings and good questions to ponder. The author's text is very informative and colorfully illustrated with famous works of art. Special notes on each subject feature details of the art that the reader should particularly notice. Graph sheets and a clear grid will help the budding artist learn the proportions of painting. A few visits to art museums are in order before and after working with this kit. The perfect gift for that special child in your life. 2001, Quarto Children's Books,
