"A Child's Guide to Pictures" by Charles H. Caffin Caffin was an Anglo-American writer and art critic, making him the perfect person to write a book teaching children about pictures. Through his words, he's able to explain to children the difference between different subject matters, as well as how important composition, color, and the tools used are to a picture's beauty. This book serves as an inspiration to aspiring young artists as well as students of art who wish to understand more what goes into determining what is or isn't a work of art.
