About

Art historian Gombrich once said: "There is no such thing as art, only artists." In fact, human beings are born with the potential to respond to art, but not everyone has the opportunity to use it at the right age. Dig it out. Aesthetic education should start with children. Teenagers aged 5 to 12 are in the period of imagination and creativity. During this critical period, we should use the beauty of art to cultivate children's appreciation ability, and use the inspirational stories of artists to lay a spiritual foundation for children. Popularizing art knowledge is our original intention in planning this set of books. For children, the enlightenment of art should not be a pilgrimage, but closeness, enjoyment and integration.

The entire series uses big data analysis to select 10 popular great painters in the world, and is edited by Professor Zheng Qinyan, director of the Children's Aesthetic Education Research Center of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. A single volume selects a painter and cuts through it from a child's perspective, accurately grasping the artistic characteristics of each painter. It uses a story-like style, biographical language, and a sense of scene and substitution to describe the major events and major events in the painter's life. works of art are connected in series. The complete set includes more than 600 classic paintings and more than 50 real-life pictures by 10 painters from 50 museums around the world. It provides a panoramic view of the painter's wonderful artistic life, breaks the distance between children and famous artists, and guides children to immerse themselves in paintings and experience the beauty of art. .
