HI! Guess what, Joanna is nice enough to guest post for me with what sounds like a fascinating book. Joanna commented on my blog about this book and I asked if she’d please please please write a blog post for me as I wanted you all to know about it too! Come check it out with me eh?

I am always looking for ways to keep my boys interested in learning about art.

We
have read many great books about artists, carried out artist studies
complete with copied works, and go on field trips to local art museums.

But
I always wanted my boys to really stop and study the works of art.
Look for the nuances that make them so spectacular, learn the names of
major works of art and the artists who painted them.

I
was so thrilled when I stumbled upon the Spot the Differences book! So
far we only have book 1 but there are 4 of them in the series.

I love this series because my boys were excited about using it!

The
book has 25 famous paintings– each painting is pictured twice. The
first page shows the original painting complete with name and date it
was painted. The opposing page shows the same picture with anywhere
from 6-14 change and you are challenged to find all the differences
between the original work of art and the changed picture. There is an
answer key in the back of the book if you get stumped and a handy box
for checking off all the differences you have found.

Surrounding
both pictures are snippets of information about the artist, the
painting itself, and some facts about the historical period in which the
artist lived and painted.

It has made art study so fun!
