About the Book

Unlike much art historydistinguished and scholarlythis examination of playful artworks is anything but solemn. Carroll chooses works that include elements of human play: toys, sports, and imagination. She then asks questions about the works that encourage viewers to locate the answers by looking, thinking, and doing. For The Discus Thrower, for example, she suggests imitating the athlete's pose, to see which muscles are used. Brief biographies of the artists and facts about the art are thoughtfully included at the end of the book. The numerous reproductions are large and clear, with a range of artists represented (Chagall, Rockwell, Calder, Lawrence, Manet, etc.) as well as a range of styles (Japanese, Egyptian, Native American, and more). A Child's Book of Play in Art (1996) is bigger and bolder, but it is aimed at a slightly younger audience; it looks at art playfully, rather than looking at art about playing. Used together, the books demonstrate the connection between the imagination and art. <

Review :
Praise for the How Artists See series: "How Artists See Cities and How Artists See Play...promote creative thinking and expression...Imagination-stirring text accompanies each painting as Carroll describes content, composition, line, technique and mood, and asks interesting and playful questions to spark children's creative responses." - Los Angeles Times "Carroll's series...eclipses the competition...How Artists See has the makings of a classic--a core experience for budding art enthusiasts to build on." -- Publishers Weekly "Wow! If you have been looking for a way to get children interested in art, call off the search, it just doesn't get any better than this." -- Children's Literature Choice List "...These are first-rate art appreciation guides for adults and young children together, or older readers alone." -- Children's Literature Review
