Fun and easy art-appreciation activities abound in this resource that features over 60 great artists across the ages. A concise biography for each artist tells why his or her work is important, and a kid-tested art activity tries out the artist’s approach. Young artists will sketch inventive designs in the style of da Vinci and draw in a nature notebook like Audubon. To understand Rodin, they will create a clay carving. Picasso will inspire a fractured friend, and Kahlo shows the magic in self-portraits. Projects stress the creative process and encourage kids to try unusual techniques such as block printing, pointillism, and mixed media artworks as they learn about architecture, drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Discovering Great Artists includes easy-to-follow icons to indicate the experience, preparation, and materials necessary for each project, as well as guides to the style, movement, or era of each artist. Introducing children to the greatest artists has never been more engaging! Review: Great pictures - Great pictures and helpful tool for homeschooling. Review: Perfect for hands-on art history - My Husband stopped being interested in art in 2nd grade, when instead of letting him create, they tried to teach art from text books. This book is a fantastic way to introduce artists and art history to children then immediately give them a hands-on experience in a similar style. Each double page features a famous artist with a picture of one of their works, and a short description of their art. The opposite page is a step by step activity to create something that is either the same style, or uses the same materials. There is always a photo or two of a child’s art work. This book can be used for children pre-K and up (including teens), depending on their maturity and interest in art. Some pictures in the book actually feature toddlers, and it is definitely doable in some cases!! Perfect book for homeschooling as well.

Low Prep Homeschool Art Book
I highly recommend this art book! As a former teacher and current homeschool mom, I wanted an art history book with lots of activities for my first grader. Art is not my strength, so I needed a book that tells me exactly what to do. Every lesson focuses on an artist, gives a brief history, and offers a hands on project (with examples). The book is organized by genre of art, messiness, and difficulty. This is our second year using the book, I do 1 art lesson per week exclusively from this book!
