Each piece in this book was selected to illustrate important historical, cultural, and artistic events, not only to give children a comprehensive foundation in global art history but also to share with them the idea that art history is a culmination of 40,000 years of people sharing themes, ideas, techniques, and incredible creativity across time and space.
