# An Eye for Art

This family-oriented resource brings together a selection of 40 art features from the National Gallery of Art’s popular quarterly *NGAkids*. Each feature in this lively, activity-packed book introduces an artist and several works from the Gallery’s collections and is paired with activities to inspire creative writing, focused looking, and artistic development in children ages 7 and up.

Seven child-friendly chapters discuss different topics, ranging from studying nature to breaking traditions, and are populated with a wide spectrum of artists, art mediums, nationalities, and time periods. This attractive gathering of art and information from the nation’s collection lends itself to family enjoyment, classroom instruction, and homeschooling for the young. (178 pages)
