What reading level is A Childs Guide to Pictures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before the latter broke out, he went to England, where he spent the rest of his life and was highly thought of. His portraits are handsome as pictures for they repre- sent men and women, mostly of elegant manners in handsome clothes. They also give the impression of being good likenesses. Yet his pictures lack anima- tion. The figures and the costumes are stiff and hard. This is partly due to there being no sugges- tion of atmosphere surrounding them. The picture is not filled with air and ligh...t, as we found Ver- meer's was. But there is another reason. Copley was unskilful in the presentation of textures.
The flesh and hair, the materials of the costumes, the furniture and ornaments, present no differences of texture. All seem to have a uniformly hard sur- face, as if they were made of wood or tin. The re- sult is that the whole picture seems hard and stiff — lacking in animation. If you ask me why this lack of animation is caused by the artist's neglect of textures, I think the answer is that Copley has not given to everything in his picture its own separate, particular character.
