“Love Art, Love Learning”
Welcome. Designed to expand and inspire young minds, this is a range of short educational books for children aged 7+. These books do more than just teach children about Art and artists. They also act as a gateway to a much broader general knowledge. Although one artist’s life and major works are always the central theme, wider learning is encouraged in the following ways:
• Geography. When locations relevant to the artist’s life are mentioned they are always accompanied by a colourful, child-friendly map so that the opportunity to learn some world geography does not pass the young reader by.
• History. If the Artist’s actions or inspirations were based on the current affairs of the day then a snippet of history is explained in simple terms than can be easily understood by children.
• Vocabulary. In general the vocabulary is uncomplicated (without being patronising). However, a manageable number of longer words are intentionally introduced and then reused in each book. These are always demarked by bright colours and are accompanied by a clear definition and pronunciation. There is also a Glossary at the end.
• Maths. At least one maths statement, e.g. a calculation of the artist’s age, is included in each book. A sum to accompany the statement is always laid out somewhere nearby.
• Concentration. Each book is written in the friendly first person and a trail of footprints running through it always leads to a cartoon animal at the end. The author sometimes asks questions of the young reader (and the final section is always a quiz). These features both keep children engaged in the book and encourage them to form their own opinions. There is intentionally a high ratio of images to text.
• Other Artists. No artist lives in isolation; they are invariably influenced by their peers and those that have come before them. Therefore each book introduces a select few new artist’s names. In this way the child’s knowledge horizon of Art History is gently expanded.
Free fun activities and worksheets for revision are available to accompany all the books. These can be found on the 'SMART READS for Kids' pages of: theportraitplace.co.uk.
All the eBooks are specifically formatted for Kindle with large, high resolution, full colour images. (Note that if your device does not support colour images these will appear in grey scale). If you do not have a Kindle reader and would like to take advantage of the reduced prices that Kindle Books offer you can download free Kindle reading apps for Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad and PC and Mac from the Amazon website.
