Enjoying Great Art Series: Umbrellas 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 umbrellas (used to keep off the rain) and parasols (to keep off the sun) in art! Different colors, shapes, sizes...Some that are only small parts of the painting, some which are the focus of the painting. You can 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, if men, women, or children are more often portrayed. And 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.
