She then moves on to give a brief outline of the artist's life and his or her artistic style in general. Each page of text ends with a focus on the featured painting. The book concludes by suggesting that the reader return to the book and examine the paintings again on a new day with fresh questions in mind. For example, \"What questions would you ask the artist about this work if he or she were here?\" or \"If you could go inside one of these artworks, which one would you choose?\" I found this book fascinating and the suggested questions helped me to look at the artwork with more focus.

Kimberly Lane, as art teacher at The School at Columbia University, curates a tour of twelve Latin American art works explaining how the artists became painters and some of the goals they tried to achieve through their art.\u003cbr\u003e Lane's choices date from 1895 to 2004 but are mainly clustered in the 1930s and 1940s. Full-page color reproductions are each accompanied by a few paragraphs about the artist's personal background (often including his or her social consciousness); aesthetic influences on his or her work; and the painting itself. Titles are respectfully given in the exact language used by the institutional or individual owners of he original works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heading each page of text are questions that draw young readers into the experience of the work. \"Who are these skeletons and what are they doing?\" they are asked to consider of \u003ci\u003eCalavera Las Bicicletas\u003c\/i\u003e by José Guadalupe Posada (1895). \"If you painted someone you loved, who would you choose?\" they are asked while viewing Juan Sánchez' memorial of his mother, \u003ci\u003eMujer Eterna: Free Spirit Forever\u003c\/i\u003e (1988).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lane's discussion of a Diego Rivera mural at City College of San Francisco relates his role in the Mexican mural movement. Of Rufino Tamayo, she points out the influence of Picasso and Cézanne on the artist. Three of the twelve paintings are by women: a self-portrait by Mexican Frida Kahlo, Brazilian Tarsila Do Amaral's Fernand Léger-influenced painting of the Central Railroad of Brazil, and cubist still life by Cuban Amelia Peláez.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the end of the book, readers are instructed to go back and look at the paintings again , with a new set of questions, including \"If you could go inside one of these artworks, which one would you choose? What would it be like to be inside this work?\" Kimberly Lane's questions are stimulating and fun for young minds an offer opportunities to explore cross-currents between history and art, as well as between Latin American and European artists.

The book includes well-known artists like Diego River, José Guadalupe Posada, Rufino Tamayo, and Frida Kahlo, as well as artists that might be new to readers like Xul Solar, Amelia Peláez, and Diego Isaias Hernandez Mendéz.

This attractive introduction to Latin American art and culture should attract plenty of browsers as well as young researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Links\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the Come Look With Me series, this title introduces middle readers to 12 Latin American artists through full-page color reproductions of their artwork and thought-provoking, interactive questions, brief biographies, and information about hte artworks.

Following the same format for each, author Kimberly Lane features a painting with three to four questions that the reader might answer after examining each painting. She then moves on to give a brief outline of the artist's life and his or her artistic style in general. Each page of text ends with a focus on the featured painting. The book concludes by suggesting that the reader return to the book and examine the paintings again on a new day with fresh questions in mind. For example, \"What questions would you ask the artist about this work if he or she were here?\" or \"If you could go inside one of these artworks, which one would you choose?\" I found this book fascinating and the suggested questions helped me to look at the artwork with more focus.

Full-page color reproductions are each accompanied by a few paragraphs about the artist's personal background (often including his or her social consciousness); aesthetic influences on his or her work; and the painting itself. Titles are respectfully given in the exact language used by the institutional or individual owners of he original works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heading each page of text are questions that draw young readers into the experience of the work. \"Who are these skeletons and what are they doing?\" they are asked to consider of \u003ci\u003eCalavera Las Bicicletas\u003c\/i\u003e by José Guadalupe Posada (1895). \"If you painted someone you loved, who would you choose?\" they are asked while viewing Juan Sánchez' memorial of his mother, \u003ci\u003eMujer Eterna: Free Spirit Forever\u003c\/i\u003e (1988).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lane's discussion of a Diego Rivera mural at City College of San Francisco relates his role in the Mexican mural movement. Of Rufino Tamayo, she points out the influence of Picasso and Cézanne on the artist. Three of the twelve paintings are by women: a self-portrait by Mexican Frida Kahlo, Brazilian Tarsila Do Amaral's Fernand Léger-influenced painting of the Central Railroad of Brazil, and cubist still life by Cuban Amelia Peláez.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the end of the book, readers are instructed to go back and look at the paintings again , with a new set of questions, including \"If you could go inside one of these artworks, which one would you choose? What would it be like to be inside this work?\" Kimberly Lane's questions are stimulating and fun for young minds an offer opportunities to explore cross-currents between history and art, as well as between Latin American and European artists. Although designed for classroom use, precocious young historians and potential art critics will find plenty to mull over and delight in on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchoolArts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKimberly Lane shares her knowledge of teaching art criticism and the \"guided looking\" approach of Gladys S.
