What Adults Don't Know About Art

This is the ultimate beginner's guide to the importance of art, told in a way that will enchant children and engage their favorite adults as well.

Everyone tells children that art matters, but the truth is that very often it’s hard to know why. Museum visits can feel like a chore and memorizing the names of the famous artists is no fun. However, when presented the right way, art has a deep capacity to improve our lives and offer us a sense of joy and mental well-being.

What Adults Don't Know About Art is a different sort of introduction to art. In a tone that’s friendly, informative, and at times, downright silly, this book explains how art can fit into anyone's life. We learn where the impulse to make art comes from, what art to look at in certain moods, how to visit a museum without getting bored and how we can become experts in art simply by decorating our rooms.
