About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that the world is a vibrant tapestry and begins asking why certain colors make them feel happy, energized, or even a bit blue. It is perfect for the transition from simply naming colors to understanding the psychology and purpose behind visual expression. Unlike traditional art books that focus on museum paintings, this guide looks at color in our daily lives, from the ink in comic books to the intricate patterns of henna art. By exploring concepts like light, tone, and pigment through a social lens, the book encourages children to see themselves as part of a global creative community. It validates their curiosity about the 'why' behind art, fostering a sense of creative confidence. It is an excellent choice for parents who want to broaden their child's perspective on culture and heritage while building a sophisticated vocabulary for self-expression.
