How Artists See is my 12-volume series of art books written and designed to teach children about art, how it is created, and how art can spark self-expression. Each volume in the series, with over 200,000 copies in print, is devoted to a subject that every child already knows from personal experience. The twelve subjects in the series are: America, animals, artists, cities, elements, families, feelings, heroes, people, play, weather, and work. The inquiry-based text is written to inspire readers to stop and explore the sixteen examples of art work that range from cave paintings to contemporary.
How Artists See introduces basic art concepts and techniques and fosters an appreciation of artistic style. For children who want to know more about the artists whose works appear in the book, biographies are provided at the end, along with suggestions for further reading and an international list of museums where each artist's works can be seen. While reading the How Artists See series, children will begin to understand the multitude of ways that artists see, deepen their appreciation of art, and most importantly, strengthen their own unique visual abilities.
