Monet and the
Impressionists for Kids
A lifelong love of art is one of the greatest gifts an adult can bestow on a child, and no art is more appealing to children than Impressionism. Monet and the Impressionists for Kids invites children to delight in Cassatt's mothers and children, Renoir's dancing couples, and Gauguin's island scenes; 21 activities explore Monet's quick, shimmering brush strokes, Cézanne's brilliant rectangles of color, Seurat's pointillism, and Degas's sculpture-like circles of dancers. Kids will learn how the artists' friendships sustained them through repeated rejection by the Parisian art world, and how they lived, painted, and thrilled to the vibrant life of Paris at the approach of the 20th century.
