Looking at Paintings: An Introduction to Fine Art for Young People

Mickey Mouse, Goofy and friends help introduce art to children in the paper-over-board Disney: Looking at Paintings: An Introduction to Fine Art for Young People by Erika Langmuir and Ruth Thomson, as they explain everything from the reasons people create art (portraits, historical events, etc.) to the effects of size, color, lighting and setting on a painting. In addition to reproductions of famous paintings, illustrations and comic strip stories featuring Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck and the gang help make the concepts child-friendly. (Oct.)
