A Child of Six Could Do It!
I love the front cover to this book, it often springs to mind when my pupils ask me questions about certain types of visual art (mainly the abstract ones!). They often ask “but i could do that! What makes it so special?”, or “so if painted like Jackson Pollock, does that mean that I could sell my painting for a million pounds?!”. Often, my pupils forget that art can have significant historic and cultural importance, reflect a period of human thinking, depict a part of the artist’s soul, have a different meaning for every viewer, will often be unique/original, and the list can go on. Once this is understood, it is really no surprise that art can sell for extravagant amounts of money!
