Disappointed - B. Woodward -
I have to agree with the other people who posted about the pictures in the book. If they were in color, this book would be a masterpiece. But as it is, the black and white really takes away from the art. You cannot ask a child to look at a black and white picture and then try to recreate the work. It has good information on the artists and the methods used, but other than that I would NOT recommend this book to anyone.



One of the best books I own - Natalee Fehr - Sandy, Ut
I continually use this book and the ideas within it. I can make a lesson fit my preschool class or my art class of fifteen year olds. The ideas are fresh, fun and engaging.



Excelent! - Judith M. Padilla Martinez - Toa Baja, Puerto Rico
Its a complete source. The activities and info of artist its easy to do and understand. Great for teachers or parents.

Great series - Shannyn Bishop Snyder -
I bought all of the books in this series for our homeschool art curriculum. They are easy to read and a fun supplement that can lead to a nice trip to the Smithsonian Gallery of Art.






Well thought out... - vitcor - usa
I was really impressed with not only how wonderfully the book related to children, but to the colorful art work as well. My son asked lots of questions and related this book to his life.
