Abstract
We cite from the cover:
"With a thoughtful approach, art educator Jean Tucker invites youngsters to explore her selection of 12 outstanding color and black-and-white photographs of children by American photographers. Each image is accompanied by open-ended questions and a brief background text that will gently guide children on their way to understanding perspective, color, composition, and the nature of the creative process itself.
Discovering Photographs With Children is well suited for both individual and classroom use. Children and the adults who share this book with them will learn a new way of looking at photographs. Included in the range of works are: Mathew Brady's daguerreotype of a father and his devoted son; Diane Arbus's portrait of identical twin sisters; Nancy Ack-erman's photograph of an Inuit boy playing in the ice and snow.
"These photographs tell us much about the time and place in which they were taken," says the author, "for knowledge comes to us through pictures as powerfully as it does through words." From Barbara Morgan's black-and-white photograph of campers singing in the rain to Joel Meyerowitz's sun-drenched image of a boy with a fish, DISCOVERING PHOTOGRAPHS With Children will give youngsters a stimulating introduction to the most modern of the visual arts."
