A Whole World of Art offers an international view of art history through 25 beautifully illustrated scenes of great art and artists at different times and places around the world.
This beautifully illustrated book seeks to tell children the true, diverse and decolonised story of art around the world.
Even before they could write, people were telling stories with pictures. And though art is universal, the story we know about it is not.
A Whole World of Art opens your eyes to a global view of art by taking you on a whirlwind tour around the world and through time. With two companions – a boy and a girl – travel through 25 destinations from the history of art, circling the globe.
As they travel, they explore the rich visual canon from each culture they visit through looking at different key works and examine the lives of the artists who created them.
Each spread shows a stunning, edge-to-edge illustrated scene from art history portraying an artist or artists making important artwork within a detailed background. A paragraph of introductory text and small captions around the page give fascinating details about the artists and the time and place in which they lived. Art project ideas provide inspiration throughout. Visit:
