DESCRIPTION:

Every child will become absorbed in this inventive game, whether they have an established interest in art or are new to the subject. The book encourages the child to scrutinise the paintings carefully, which, coupled with detailed information on the paintings and the artists, is an ingenious way to draw children in to an appreciation of great art. The book will be treasured as a valuable reference book long after the game has been completed. Using the split-page format, the reader must work through the auction catalogue, painting by painting. First the reader needs to identify the 16 forgeries. These could contain up to nine mistakes each. By carefully comparing each painting on the top part of the page (the auction display) with their equivalents on the bottom part of the page (the auction catalogue) the reader must count the number of mistakes in each forgery. If their powers of deduction are up to scratch, they will be able, using simple addition and subtraction, to work out how much each forger was paid. There are plenty of hints along the way to help with the activity.
