Discover the wonders of different shapes through the art of Josef Albers
Squares & Other Shapes uses the vibrant artworks of Josef Albers to guide children through a wide range of geometric elements, one artwork per page, starting with squares and returning to them as a familiar refrain throughout. The variations among the lively shapes add to the visual richness of the book, and the accompanying text provides relevant and engaging commentary that will encourage discussion.
Josef Albers was a leading pioneer of 20th-century modernism, known for his paintings Homages to the Square and his publication Interaction of Color. Albers was a teacher, writer, painter, theorist, and in this groundbreaking book, his influential art is used to teach shapes, one of the most important concepts for young children to learn.
Each title in this series of artistic reading panels, a must-have, uses masterpieces by famous artists to teach one of the key early learning concepts for toddlers. Each concept is playfully explored through a curated selection of beautifully reproduced artworks, while the accompanying text enriches the experience with witty, conversational commentary and a text 'about the artist.' The accompanying books in this series present the art of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Ellsworth Kelly, and Alexander Calder.
