I am a huge fan of these books by Mike Venezia. We use them to introduce a new artist or composer in our picture & music studies.This book about Chagall was entertaining, very vibrantly illustrated with both artwork by the author, Chagall, and others who inspired Chagall. The book gives a mention to how the Chagalls left Russia for France and in the next sentence France for the US. It doesn't mention the beautiful stained glass windows that he made for St. Stephen's in Mainz, Germany or the full meaning behind those windows going to the former Nazi regime.All in all, a good intro, mostly for the 5-8 year old range. My 10 year old enjoys them, but wants more when we're done.
As with all of the books in this "Getting to Know" series, I found it a great resource, both in increasing my own knowledge and in being very used friendly to the children in my classroom. A great book for home libraries, too.
We own several books in the Mike Venezia series - artists and musicians. I find that Venezia introduces children to the wonderful world of art using a combination of straight forward text, original pictures and funny cartoons. This is also a great complement to a child's arts and crafts program or drawing class.
Great series of art books for young and old.
