In Art

When we think of volcanoes we may only think of them in relation to the destruction they have caused or still may cause. But they have been portrayed by great artists around the world as works for art for centuries. Here is a picture book for adults and students of all ages... A picture book of volcanoes in art! As might be expected, many of the paintings are from Hawaii, but there are many others from around the world as well. Look through these paintings that span many centuries, and notice the similarities and the differences between them... See the colors, the textures and patterns, and more. Notice how many different artists portray the same volcano. Take note of whether there are people included in the different paintings; and if so, are they a primary focus of the painting, or merely a smaller portion? Do you like certain artists or styles more than others? But, most of all, enjoy! Note to parents: All of the paintings selected for the books in this series are child-friendly - but we aren't necessarily recommending all of the other paintings by these same artists! If you and your children want to go exploring after this - please exercise caution.
