Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists, Dorothea Lange is a nice edition in this fantastic collection by Mike Venezia. These books are perfect for exposing elementary and junior high aged students to a large variety of artists and styles and mediums of art. This book on Dorthea Lange is also wonderful read to share while covering the Great Depression.
This is a great series of books for children ages 5-12. I've bought many of them for my granddaughter, now nine.
I thought this books was an excellent tool in supporting my lesson plan. It is a great example to show students that women have made great contributions to the culture and ambiance of California. I found the text to be very simple yet quite moving. The book could be used for independednt reading or a read loud.
