148+ Coloring Books
From as far back in time as Sumer, 4000 BC, wonderful art has been created. This was the inspiration for our coloring books, which are designed to present that art in an easy-to-understand format. While coloring, even the youngest artist can learn about people of other times and places. The Ancient Near East, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, Ancient China and India through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, all provide both simple and complex subjects. Follow your own color scheme or delve into the study of the pigments of another era.
