In Art: Windows

by Catherine McGrew Jaime

Overview

Windows are a part of our everyday life. But do we think of them when we think of great art? Here is a picture book for adults and students of all ages...A picture book of windows in art! Different colors, shapes, sizes...Some that are only small parts of the painting, some which are the focus of the painting. Some showing windows from the inside and some from the outside. 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. Take note of whether there are people included in the different paintings; and if so, are men, women, or children more often portrayed with the windows? Do you like certain artists or styles more than others? But, most of all, enjoy!

About the Author

Catherine has put together a wide variety of books in her Enjoying Great Art series - including books on Leonardo da Vinci, CHRISTmas, Madonnas, New York City, and Turkey, to name just a few.

Catherine's appreciation for "Great Art" started slowly. Beginning with a love of all things Leonardo da Vinci, in recent years she branched out to Claude Monet, Winslow Homer, and Norman Rockwell. And there her love of art sat for many years. Only in the last few years has she come to recognize and enjoy the works of many other artists, and in the process has fallen in love with many of their paintings, both well-known and not so well-known.

This series started simply: a few books to introduce children to art and artists they might not have known - all arranged along a single theme (first hats, then with animals, then bridges, and so it went). Before long she had multiplied her efforts and her books, all the while introducing not just her students, but also many adults to the vast array of artwork that so many of us sadly neglect.
