I had hoped it would be a good way to introduce art "history" to my 5 year old. I thought it might be a bit too over her head, but the activities in it appeared to be appealing for kids. I wasn't wrong. The book is set up to do about one activity a day (sometimes it's an activity over 2 days). None of them are overly difficult or over-involved. They follow the calendar, so whatever day you start, you'll be able to follow along each day. We tried doing it by following the calendar, but of course, life gets in the way so you can't really do one activity each day (perhaps if you're homeschooling, that would work great). But my daughter enjoyed it so much, she would sit down and do several days at one time. So we just let her do it whenever she wanted. She has started recognizing the names of a lot of the artists. Sometimes there are several artworks throughout the book, and she'll say, "oh, there's a painting earlier in the book by this artist" and then look for it. If we go to an art museum or she reads books based on artists (like the Anholt's Artist books for children--which I also highly recommend) it strengthens her recognition of the artists she learns about in this book. Some of the activities are just looking for items in a painting (like "I Spy"), or make a mosaic like the one in the photo, or finish the painting, what is this girl thinking about, etc. We like it so much we bought this as a gift for her friend and will add it to our "regular gift" list. Highly recommend it for introducing various art forms, art history, critical thinking, and just plain fun. Review: i love this book - I love this book, its simple, full of observation exercises and activities, if you teach art this book it's perfect to improve creativity and imagination, you have to use your own creativity of course, but this book it's the perfect guide. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,568,937 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #78 in Teen & Young Adult Art History | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (28) | | Dimensions | 8.38 x 1.63 x 8.38 inches | | Edition | Revised | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 3791371940 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3791371948 | | Item Weight | 3.05 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 376 pages | | Publication date | August 11, 2015 | | Publisher | Prestel Junior | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years | ## Images ![A Year in Art: The Activity Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Cm9oQBavL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and educational *by K***K on May 17, 2011* We bought this originally at an art museum.
