concepts of colors and shapes are common curriculum found in products targeted at
the very young, but this new video offering teaches them in a
completely unique way. Brainy Baby Art explores colors (shades,
warm and cool colors, primary and secondary colors, etc.), textures (slippery paint, rough
sandpaper), shapes (squiggly lines, basic shapes, etc.), and a
wonderful variety of other art concepts. Young viewers are even
introduced to famous works of art. What do different objects, like
a pineapple, feel like? How many warm colors are in the
painting? What kinds of lines are found in a rainbow?
Kids look for sunshine and
shadows in a famous painting, explore Renoir's Girl With Watering
Can, look for different types of lines in Van Gogh's Starry
Night, learn about different art mediums (like crayons, markers,
chalk, clay, and so forth), and explore mosaics. Patterns and
symmetry, lines, color mixing (blue and yellow make green),
spirals...too complex for little ones? Perhaps some concepts, but
this video wisely doesn't underestimate a young mind's ability to
absorb concepts that we, as adults, might consider too
complicated. Very clear and warm narration is featured, lively
songs, and plenty of live-action video helps demonstrate the
concepts taught. This video is extremely clever!
