Who is this Picasso? / Children discover art

by Britta Benke /How do you actually recognize a »Picasso«? What are those triangles, squares and other geometric shapes in his pictures? Which colors did the Spanish painter particularly like to use for harlequins and circus acrobats? What else did he work with besides oil paints and brushes? And what does "Cubist" actually mean? In her Picasso children's book, art teacher Britta Benke embarks on a multifaceted journey of discovery through the life and work of the extraordinary artist. In encounters with Picasso's paintings and sculptures, children from the age of 6 experience the artistic interplay of a wide variety of materials, geometric shapes and colours. Guided by further questions, children are inspired to actively participate and creatively explore Picasso's world of images.
