I don't have an extensive knowledge of art books, but as someone who knows little about art, I'm a good audience for this book, an introduction to art appreciation and one of the few non-fiction Newbery Honor winners (1968). The text is understandable, terms are well defined and explained, and Moore's included examples from great works and masters make her points clear. Moore includes activities that an interested reader can attempt for further insight. She quotes Giacometti at this point: "I make a head to see how I see, to know how I see, not to make a work of art." Moore includes a lengthy bibliography divided topically. Finally, for those who are interested in the treatment of nudity in a child's book, Moore does discuss two examples of nude models (both a back view) and there are a few other undiscussed examples. These are not essential to the text, and could easily be skipped, or other examples found as a substitute. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I admit to skimming most of this one. It's fairly awful, honestly. The text is both pompous and bone dry and would turn most adults off pursuing an interest in art appreciation, not to mention kiddos. There really must have been slim pickings in this year for the Newbery, to justify giving this an Honor. ( )
