Art all around us : a kid's guide to finding art in everyday life / by Situ, Xiao,author.;
Circles of art -- Self -- Home and family -- Community -- Society --Nature -- Cosmos."Art is not just the paintings and sculptures we see in museums, but also things that surround us every day--family photos, decorations used during holidays or celebrations, even quilts and furniture that inhabit our homes. Throughout human history, people have created all kinds of objects to express who they are and what's important to them. Art All Around Us introduces young readers to some of the most vibrant and compelling art and artifacts from around the world and includes thoughtfully chosen works from a variety of mediums, including photography, metalwork, pottery, textiles, furniture, and architecture, in addition to traditional paintings and sculpture. Each chapter features art objects from across different cultures and time periods to emphasize their thematic, stylistic, or functional commonalities within a wider web of global art production and ends with an activity page that enables readers to engage with the themes and objects more directly."-- Publisher's websiteAge 7 and up.
