Summary "Stories Pictures Tell. Book 7" by Flora L. Carpenter is an educational art book written in the early 20th century. This work aims to introduce young students to various masterpieces of visual art through engaging narratives and analyses pertaining to prominent paintings, along with the lives of their respective artists. Using a structured approach, the book fosters both an appreciation for art and an understanding of its historical context among its readers. At the start of the book, the author outlines her motivation for creating this resource, highlighting the challenges teachers face in guiding students through art studies due to a lack of accessible material. The introduction emphasizes that the text serves as a supplementary resource for teachers, allowing children to independently explore the stories behind well-known artworks and their creators. The opening chapter focuses on "The Fighting Téméraire" by J.M.W. Turner, recounting the poignant narrative of a famous ship's final voyage while underlining Turner's emotional connection to his work. Through questions and exercises, the author seeks to stimulate students' critical thinking and emotional engagement with the artwork, setting the stage for a vivid exploration of art history.
