 | The Folk Art Counting Book by Amy Z. Watson, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Staff
The Folk Art Counting Book is designed for young learners but it will be enjoyed by all ages. The images are from the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center in Williamsburg, Virginia, one of the country's premier collections of American folk art. Folk art is the product of untrained artists who, although unfamiliar with academic artistic rules, somehow solve the technical difficulties encountered & intuitively produce satisfying art. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller's folk art collection of over six hundred pieces is the nucleus of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center, a museum of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. The present collection numbers over 2,600 objects & continues to grow. Small children can start at one whirligig & soon learn to count up to five weather vanes, ten jungle animals, & twenty eagles. The uncluttered pages with large, clear numbers that are immediately recognizable in a repetitive quilt border make this book easy to use as a learning tool. Outstanding examples of folk art such as the endearing Baby in Red Chair & Henry Church's The Monkey Picture have been specially selected to enhance young children's appreciation of folk art & to stimulate their visual & cognitive senses.
