(3) 4-6 These large-format, brightly colored surveys provide solid, even inspiring introductions to the art world. Each title, refreshingly, ranges widely in subjects highlighted, from the Great Pyramid of Giza to the Beijing "bird's nest" National Stadium (Buildings), Cindy Sherman to Sofonisba Anguissola (Women Artists). Leading questions encourage budding artists to use the featured subjects and artworks as inspiration. Timeline. Glos. Review covers these titles: 13 Buildings Children Should Know, 13 Women Artists Children Should Know, 13 Artists Children Should Know, and 13 Paintings Children Should Know.
