Narrated by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace.
"Three little mice discover the art of seeing when they find a picture postcard. By looking at an oil painting in different ways, the mice find patterns, colors, lines and shapes - the basic components of any work of art. The story's appealing cut-paper collage art in primary colors provides a pleasing contrast with Robert Peake's (1551-1619) "Portrait of a Woman of Kentwell Hall, Suffolk," traditionally identified as Mary Clopton. Author/illustrator Nancy Elizabeth Wallace and Linda Friedlaender, Curator of Education at the Yale Center for British Art, show young children how to see and appreciate art. Includes a glossary, interactive activities and follow-up make-your-own-portrait-postcard project." --Container. DVD features include chapter selection.
