Legends of Art is an engaging, child-friendly art series that introduces children to the fascinating world of art. Each title features an engaging story about a great artist, a curated selection of their artworks, and some interactive pages, where young readers can jot down their first impressions of the art works and the artist, solve a word puzzle based on the artist's story, draw or copy an artwork, and create their own art. Part storybook, part art-activity guide, this series helps children learn, observe, and create, making art both accessible and fun.
The first book in this series puts the spotlight on the passionate and much-loved artist Vincent van Gogh. This great Dutch artist died at age 37 but continues to live on vibrantly in his iconic masterpieces that continue to inspire millions of new artists in every generation!
Legends of Art promises to cover many more accomplished and famous artists from across the world. And may be some day even you! Happy reading. And hope you make some art today!

Significance of the Name:
In ancient Hindu literature, the term Itihāsa denotes a genre of narrative texts that recount significant historical events. Itihāsas are repositories of cultural, spiritual, historical, philosophical, and even mythical stories, values, practices, beliefs, and teachings. The word is derived from the Sanskrit root “iti” meaning “thus” and “hāsa” meaning “happened” or “occurred.”
