Look Again is a book for children about art. Childhood should be filled with possibilities for self-discovery and personal growth. Art helps fill this need. A work of art is a reflection of life as seen through the creative eyes of an artist. An artist can choose the most common everyday experience to mirror, and through his creative imagination, produce a work that teems with excitement. The artist challenges us to "look again" at the world through his eyes and share his feelings about what he sees. And by looking at the world through his eyes, children-and adults - also learn to see creatively. Each work of art in this book has been selected because it interests children either because the subject is part of a child's everyday experience or because it is relevant to a child's natural curiosities and interests. The text, written at a child's own level, also encourages the child to look at each work of art, and then " look again" to gain new appreciation and enjoyment. For children, Look Again provides the opportunity to discover, over and over, new depths of meaning in the art he sees meaning that grows with him, as his own experiences and interests expand. For parents, this book provides the opportunity to share experiences with their children. Together, parents and children can enjoy the adventure of this book-the adventure that begins with the invitation to “look again.” -- Preface
