Another goody obtained during my recent visit to the Royal Academy is the book Color Your Own Modern Art Masterpieces by Muncie Hendler. Published by Dover Publications Inc. in 1996, it's a useful resource book for introducing children to colour in modern art, with both black and white images that can be coloured and already-coloured images for reference. Some of the paintings, such as those by Willi Baumeister (1889-1955) and Auguste Herbin (1882-1960), would also be excellent for discussions on shapes (and hence could be linked to numeracy sessions).
Remember, it's not colouring in - it's creating your own masterpiece!
To see an example of why Herbin's works are so useful for any consideration of shape, take a look at his Nude of 1960 in Tate Modern, which you can find here.
