About this item
From the first cave paintings to contemporary digital art, A History of Pictures for Children takes young readers on an extraordinary visual journey through thousands of years of human creativity.
Created by renowned art historian David Hockney and author Martin Gayford, this richly illustrated introduction to art explores how people have used pictures to tell stories, record history, express ideas, and see the world in new ways. Along the way, readers encounter ancient murals, Renaissance masterpieces, photography, comic books, film, and computer-generated imagery, discovering how artists across cultures and centuries have changed the way we look at life.
Accessible, engaging, and filled with fascinating details, this unique book encourages children to become careful observers and curious thinkers. Side-by-side comparisons, surprising connections, and vivid illustrations reveal that every picture has a story to tell.
Perfect for budding artists, museum lovers, teachers, and families, A History of Pictures for Children is an inspiring introduction to art, creativity, and visual storytelling that will spark curiosity long after the final page.
“A brilliant, knockout collaboration―one that will continue to excite, provoke, and engage kids and their grown-ups.” ―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
