Baby Laureate: For the Love of Art: Amazon.ca: DVD

Product Description

Video Details

** GOLD AWARD WINNER, 2003 National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA).**

The world's greatest classical music and fine art from the Masters converge on this one-of-a-kind educational video. Paintings come alive in time to music by Mozart and Beethoven, allowing children to experience the shapes, colors and patterns of the art and the rhythms, textures and patterns in the music.

Thoughtful connections are made between art and the real world. Live fish become Matisse's painting. Children draw a circle that morphs into a Kandinsky piece.

With its trademark combination of stunning visual effects, a world-class soundtrack, and revolutionary parent-friendly format, For the Love of Art welcomes viewers of any age to a celebration of the humanities.

DVD Extras include: Scene selction, Soundtrack play, Art only play and Animation only play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gift for a New Mom, Aug 3 2006

By	Anonymous Mom (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews

Riveting for my kids and the most peaceful DVD for mom. This was my hands-down favorite when my kids were babies and could soothe my son's cry in an instant. An exceptional gift for a new mom, as it was for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Equally enjoyable for me too!, Jun 19 2004

By	Phil (San Diego, CA) (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

I'm thrilled when our two year old goes to the DVD cabinet, pulls this out and says, "I want Star!" Of all the DVDs in our library for our two year old, I prefer this one head and shoulders above the rest. In fact, I enjoy it myself. Unlike other childrens' DVDs, this is wonderful even if it's just playing in the background while the children play with blocks in the next room. The classical soundtrack is refreshing first thing in the morning. And the artwork! I'm glad that my child is being introduced to the beauty of Van Gogh and Picasso at a young age. It's very well done and the artworks chosen are appropriate and enjoyable for children, even including one from "Goodnight Moon", one of her favorite bedtime books. The only flaw might be that this is thirty minutes long. My two year old doesn't object to that, but when this DVD is over I find myself playing it again. I wish there was a 60 or 90 minute version for grown ups!

5.0 out of 5 stars A family favorite, May 25 2004

By A Customer

Simply wonderful and different. A creative approach to learining. It "shows" the viewer how to look at art. Kid friendly but not simpering.

We love it. Bought "World Travel" too. For the Love of art is still our favorite. Can't wait to see what Baby Laureat comes up with next.

5.0 out of 5 stars The baby, cat and I all enjoy it
This is a DVD my 14 month enjoys, and I actually like to watch it too. We have almost all the Baby Einstein DVDs, which I like, but this is much more abstract. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING VIDEO! Highly recommend!
I got this from my mother-in-law and have never been so happy with a video for small children. Instead of the mind-numbing, non-educational stuff you see on the other tapes, this... Read more
