A work of art (or copy of one) can be a rich stimulus for children's learning. A painting can provide many opportunities for children to learn about the power of the visual image. Young children's natural curiosity is often roused when looking at a work of art. If you encourage their questions and develop their observational skills young children will gain a deeper insight into both the subject matter and the art of making pictures. A work of art also can be the starting point for much creative development.
This project is based on Franz Marc's painting, 'Drei Katzen' (Three Cats), painted in 1913. (See the back of the Nursery World poster for more information on the artist.)
