This week, I picked up a book on the new book shelf at the library called A Book About Color: A Clear and Simple Guide for Young Artists by Mark Gonyea. I read the book to M, and C actually read it himself. They both really enjoyed it. I think the concepts are a bit above M's level, but she still liked the book and I think she understood some of the ideas even if she didn't understand all of the terminology. The book is an introduction to the color wheel, and I think it's well done for young kids. Gonyea presents the color wheel first as a row of houses, with the primary colored houses shown as a bit bigger than those of secondary color. He explains, in simple terms, complementary colors, value and saturation, warm and cool colors, and more. I was very impressed with the way the color wheel was presented in the book. If you're teaching your kids about color and the color wheel, I highly recommend it. And I think A Book About Color would be an excellent resource
My little corner of the web to reflect on the books I have read, and those that I want to read.
