This is a wonderful series of books on famous artists. I am an elementary school art teacher and I use these books whenever I can. They are well written, funny, easy to read, and the students REMEMBER the information!!
Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists, Horace Pippin is an entertaining and informative book about a man who’s passion for painting caused him to preserver with his art despite the injury to his right shoulder he received while serving in World War I.Personally I am not a fan of Pippin’s folk style work, but his story was very intriguing. As always, I would recommend sharing this series or any work by Mike Venezia with elementary and junior high school aged students.
Kids love the comics that are added. They really retain with these.
