In this art box we look at how artists have depicted the heart shape in their work. For many of us, the word ‘love’ evokes the romance of fairy tales… But the reality of it can be very varied. There is the love, for example, between a mother and her child; there is patriotism, the love for your country; and brotherly love; and friendship…as well as romantic love. The types of love that we feel are almost as varied as the people who experience it, as is the art that explores the subject.

This art box includes: • A booklet introducing the theme, with information about artists, art styles and techniques. • Clear instructions on seven art projects, appropriate for children of any age (4+ years), with tips to tailor each project for Little Ones. • Plenty of quality art materials for your child: a set of oil pastels, a set of water-colour paints, coffee filters, pipe cleaners, sticky foam for printing, a wooden heart for decorating and water-colour paper.
