The concept is entertaining and interactive so that children can learn while having fun! Throughout the pages, you will find some games, observations, thoughts, creations, drawings and art history notions. Thanks to this varied and interactive content, children will be able to assimilate technical and theoretical notions like “still life”, “watercolors” and “impressionism”, which are sometimes abstract and difficult to understand.

Before you start reading, take a sheet of paper and several pencils.You will need them to do the exercises.
Whenever you see this pencil, it is your turn to play!
Merchant ships come from all parts of the world to moor alongside the quays of Antwerp, the biggest port in Europe. Here they unload their precious cargoes: spices, cane sugar, silk, linen cloth, iron, copper, gold, diamonds, pigments,…
In those days, Belgium did not yet exist. It was part of a region known as the Low Countries. The kings of Europe were fighting among themselves to divide up the world between them, and battle was raging between Catholics and Protestants. An eighty year war (1568-1648) had started. The City of Antwerp was also under threat…But happily, in 1609 the Archdukes Albert and Isabella signed a twelve year peace agreement…
This is the golden age of Antwerp. You can find everything you want. You might easily run into scholars, scientists and famous artists.
I’m from Africa!
Look at Antwerp harbour. What kind of ships are moored there? Where have the ships come from? What are the houses like?
