The Arts (DK Children's Visual Encyclopedias)

This is a very high quality soft side book. The images are sharp and have strong colors. The different art categories are well documented. I bought this for my granddaughter, who is interested in art and will explore the subject in great depth with this fine book….

DK never disappoints! Vibrant illustration and thoughtful dialogue. Perfect elementary art room resource.

This was a great Christmas gift for our budding artist! They love paging through it and copying artwork in their sketchbook, or just learning about the different styles of art.

Informational, has a ton of good history in there as well as all the famous art in the world. Engaging, but not overwhelming!

It is a beautiful Book, I purchased it for my granddaughter. She loves it. It has many photos of the Master’s art work.

I love the book. It’s beautiful. It has high-quality photos. I like how it goes through the subject matter starting with the principles of art before getting into famous work. It mostly focuses on painting, but it does have sections for sculpture, photography, music, and dance. I am however very, unhappy that they used the wave of Kanagawa as they’re back cover art, and it’s not covered once in the book. Seems like kind of a slight.

Great art appreciation/history book. I bought this as a Christmas gift for a neighbor's 12 year old daughter. This book is age appropriate for an intelligent 12 year old and older. She's going to love it.

Very knowledgeable Art book with five(5)Categories: An original encyclopedia containing more Categories, but this book is good for starting with🥰🚢👍

Very reader friendly

Textbooks are expensive thats no surprise. I bought this book for my art inspiration and to learn more. The colours are extremely vidid and true to the original. Very informative and I’ve learned alot already.

Very interesting illustrations and organised informations

The book is beautiful and has a good summary of many types of art. Although it can definitely cover more types and more breadth within each art type. They did a good job for Painting, but others lack breadth such as Music, none of the modern music genres are covered. Ceramics can also be included and elaborated next to Sculpture, as it is an amazing art form. There's more to like Dance, Photography and even blacksmithing and wood-carving too.

Wonderful book with lovely illustrations, also high quality
