What Adults Don’t Know About Art, une publication de The School of Life, révèle ce que les adultes ignorent à propos de l’art, quoi qu’ils en disent ! Ce livre stimulant répond aux questions sur la place de l’art dans nos vies, d’où vient le désir de la création, ce qui mérite d’être apprécié dans l’art et dans quel état d’esprit, sans omettre l’aspect le plus important : comment visiter les musées sans s’ennuyer. Amusant et informatif, ce guide s’adresse aux enfants mais convient également aux adultes en charge d’enfants.

Everyone tells children that art matters – but the truth is that very often it’s hard to know why it really does. Museum visits can feel like a chore as does having to learn the names of the big artists we’re meant to love, but perhaps don’t quite in the way we’re supposed to. This is a huge pity because, grasped the right way, art has a deep capacity to improve our lives and offer us a sense of joy and mental well-being.

Here is a guide to art for children with a difference. In a tone that’s kindly, informative, unstuffy and at times rightly irreverent, this book explains how art can fit into our lives.
