For parents, educators, and anyone who wants children to understand and love the art of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, this guide has questions and answers about 30 quintessential objects. Each section begins with very simple observations — "This face doesn't look very African!" — and moves on to more complex questions such as "What do the decorations on the forehead and temples represent?" Written in everyday language for people with no art expertise or teaching experience, the book includes maps, color-coding, and thumbnail images to help readers situate each featured work of art. The explanations also include guidance on what's most appropriate for what age, from four to 14. There are invaluable tips for planning a visit to a museum, a thorough discussion of modern Western perceptions of world art, and help with the tricky terminology associated with this subject.
