The Spectacular Science of Art is guaranteed to answer all those tricky science questions that children ask about colours, perspective, and symmetry - and that parents often struggle to answer - such as: What is colour theory How do artists use maths in their paintings How do scientists spot forgeries in a laboratory And many, many more! The bright, busy artworks will encourage science-hungry children to pore over every detail and truly get to grips with the science that underpins everything around us. Information is delivered on multiple levels by expert author Rob Colson, allowing readers to dip in and out at speed, or take a deep dive into their favourite subjects.
