Description
"This handbook presents an ingenious idea to challenge and deepen children's aesthetic sense by using readily available materials. Further, it offers children immediate feedback and success while providing for long term aesthetic appreciation and education." - Dr. Nancy Curry, PhD, Professor and program director of Child Development and Child Care, University of Pittsburgh

"This is a book that could revolutionize art education. Designed for those pre-school years when learning can be sheer pleasure, it fosters an uninhibited sense of order and mastery which could enrich the rest of the young one's life." - John McDonald Moore, Art historian and lecturer, New School for Social Research

"What a simple, delightful system! The author takes one of the most effective and enjoyable ways of learning about art - comparisons - and, with a magic wand, transforms it into a game for children of all ages. What a pleasant way to take a voyage of artistic discovery." - John H Brooks, Associate Director, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, Ma

"This little gem offers children the best of several worlds. It gives them opportunity to engage in entertaining activity, stimulate their intelligence, sharpen artistic taste and foster cultural knowledge. I predict that the method will have as much appeal to adults as to children." - Dr. Milton Schwebel, Professor of Psychology and former Dean of Graduate School of Education, Rutgers University

"The technique described in this important book offers the most appropriate preparation I known of for a child to experience that wonderful moment of recognition when he/she first sees the original of a familiar work of art in a museum. In other words, this method prepares the child for the gestalt of the work of art. Isn't this the goal of every museum visit for young and old?" - Joan Cavanaugh, Consultant/Art Educator, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
