Product Description
Filled with pop-ups, pullouts, and mobiles, The Art Pack is a completely new way to experience artists' use of color, line, composition, perspective, and optics, as well as a lavishly illustrated introduction to the history of Western art.
With The Art Pack you can:
Examine a three-dimensional model of an artist's studio painted by Vermeer
See for yourself how an artist solves problems of perspective by using a replica of Alberti's veil and a pop-up viewer
Break up light with a camera obscura and a filtered Claude glass
Study the combinations of colors that produce shades and tones, by manipulating a real color wheel
Hear (on audiocassette) why the world considers great paintings masterpieces, and see them reproduced in full color
And much more!

The Art Pack January 12, 2007
This is the fourth copy I have bought....both of my brothers are artists and I gave them this book for a birthday present - very happy with it. I also got one for myself and one for a friend - this is an excellent book and was in excellent condition every time!
A PAINLESS WAY TO GET YOUR DOSE OF ART... August 10, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN AN ART LOVER SINCE I WAS A KID. PART OF THE ENJOYMENT OF ART IS HAVING AN INTERPRETATION TO GO ALONG WITH WHAT YOU ARE SEEING. THIS BOOK WILL EXPLAIN WHY EXPERTS VIEW CERTAIN WORKS OF ART AND PROCLAIM THEM "GREAT". IT TEACHES PRINCIPLES OF ART FROM PAST AND PRESENT PERSPECTIVES IN A UNIQUE, 3-DIMENSIONAL WAY. IT ALSO INCLUDES INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS A MOBLILE YOU CAN BUILD AND EVEN CHARACTERS THAT YOU CAN PLACE IN THE PAINTING TO UNDERSTAND CONCEPTS SUCH AS VANISHING POINT AND HORIZON LINE. EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN MY COPY HAS BECOME ENGROSSED IN IT. EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY LIKED ART!
A wonderful introduction for the clueless. March 19, 1999

I am one of the artlessly clueless. This book, and the others in the series, have all been wonderful fun, which is why they are also wonderful learning tools for beginners. Low stress, major payback, and marvelously intelligent all the way through. They won't make you an expert, but you'll have a good time and be better for it, too.
Where pop-up books and art history meet. February 4, 1999
