* In search of Venus' lost baby angel

Elua is a bit of an odd kid who always comes in last in class.
One day, Elua went on a field trip to an art museum with her school friends.
Elua, who was getting bored, decided to kill time by sitting in a corner on the first floor of the art gallery.
But then, from somewhere, a voice called out, "Little one!" Going to where the sound was coming from, I saw a beautiful woman in a painting calling out to Elua.
The painting comes to life and speaks! As Venus weeps in grief over the loss of her angel, Elua promises to find the baby angel.
And in search of the baby angel, we search through every hall from the first floor to the last, and talk with the works of masters such as Poussin, Picasso, Morisot, Rodin, Mondrian, and Giacometti, and immerse ourselves in the world of the paintings.
Elua is afraid that she will be captured by the statue and turned to stone, or that she will never be able to escape from the blue painting, but she stands before the painting with a pounding heart, determined to keep her promise to Venus.
Will Elua be able to find the baby angel?

* Let's talk with pictures and hearts!

As interest in art education grows, famous art exhibitions are crowded with parents bringing their children.
However, most parents stop at simply reading pamphlets or books or playing audio guides to explain pictures to their children.
But the most effective way for children to appreciate a painting is to experience and imagine what they see! They should begin by sensing the mood the painting evokes through its color composition, and developing their own unique emotions before the painting.
When you feel the joy of letting your imagination run wild in a painting, you have truly appreciated the painting.
Just as the main character of this book, Elua, talks to paintings without hesitation, jumps into the world within the paintings, imagines, and discovers a new world.
In "Finding Lost Angels," we tell our friends that when they look at a painting, they should not treat it as just an object, but talk to it as if they were meeting a living friend.
It breaks the stereotypes that 'paintings are to be viewed silently from the outside' and 'paintings must be understood by connecting them to the artist's life and art history', and shows that the most intelligent appreciation can be had when one engages with paintings with a pure heart.
Even children who have felt burdened by the idea of ​​'art' will learn to appreciate art in a friendly and enjoyable way through this book.

* Now let’s raise our children as ‘museum goers’!

"In Search of the Lost Angel" is a book that helps our children grow up to be "museumgoers" (people who often go to art museums) who love, enjoy, and frequently visit art.
Although the setting is a French art museum, the content transcends space and can be applied to Korean art museums as well, providing tips on how to appreciate art.
This is a must-have book for our children who are busy doing their homework in front of their artwork.

In this book, the pictures speak to the children, and the children enter the pictures and talk to the characters in the pictures.
These fantasy elements are based on 'imagination-based storytelling' applied in appreciation learning.
The author's imagination stands out by presenting a fun and easy-to-understand story based on a solid theoretical foundation.
Additionally, the various works of famous artists that Elua encounters while searching for the baby angel provide a hidden picture-like pleasure.
