Well suited for both individual and classroom use, Exploring Modern Art pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging children to learn through visual exploration and interaction. Thoughtful text introduces the world and work of the artist, making the most of a child's natural curiosity. Children enter the feelings and flat shapes of Henri Matisse's The Red Room (Harmony in Red); they compare Pablo Picasso's Horse Head Mask with a firespitter mask from the Ivory Coast; they imagine the expression on the face of the young girl in Diego Rivera's The Flower Vendor (Girl With Lilies).
