II.4.4. THE LOUVRE THROUGH KIDS' SHARP EYES

MENU: 2.4.4. Louvre through kids' sharp eyes


PAINTINGS SEND MESSAGES VIA ROMANS, OLD TESTAMENT FIGURES OR THE GODS  

Adults show kids how to look beneath the surface... 

The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault, 1819

And benefit from their gift of observation:


        Dante's barque,1822
 
"Mommy, look at the vampire!," an eight-year-old cried out:

 
"That's the best part of my painting!," 
the artist had said.
-- Eugène Delacroix, age 26


For adults, more coming.
Here, starters for children
