This series introduces the key media and art forms likely to be experienced by readers at home and at school. Each book examines what the art form is, what it can be made of, what it can show, differences in size, technique and style, historical and modern examples, examples from different cultures, etc. The Read and Learn format allows readers to approach the topics from a similar perspective to a child, anticipating the questions they might have; e.g.: What is a painting? What are paintings made of? Who makes paintings? What do paintings look like? How are paintings made? Where can I see paintings?
