Have you seen Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose: The Story of a Painting by Hugh Brewster? What a gorgeous book! It describes a painting by John Singer Sargent, from the viewpoint of the child model. There are many other beautiful paintings and drawings in the book.
There are so many ways to expose your child to the world of art; back in the 1980's I couldn't resist the books by Mike Venezia, who has beautiful and accessible books about both artists and composers for children.
And who can resist Linnea in Monet's Garden, both the book and the DVD?
And follow these books up by spending a rainy afternoon pushing a stroller through an art gallery.
