This book - as well as every other one in the "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists" series -- is a fantastic purchase. It puts a creative spin on the teaching of art to children and makes the artists' stories come to life in a really "current" and cool way . . . using cartoons / graphics, great photos of masterpieces and easy-to-understand language. My son is 8 years old and loves them . . . I think these books are appropriate for a wide range of ages (from 4 / 5 up to 10 / 11, maybe even older).
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.
These books are the best for teaching about artists. We love them at our house. They are funny, creative, and entertaining, but you still learn so much from it. I keep buying more and ore of them!
Very beautiful, informative, useful, concise art history book. User friendly for children, a great way to get them interested in the arts.
Using the book to teach about Cezanne and 19th century art. Creative way to keep students interested in the subject matter.
Awesome series!
These books are so great for young learners and old. I have really enjoyed them.
Good find!
