Review: Great for my homeschooled 5th grader! - I recently got this art book for my daughter to use in our homeschool, for art and it’s been a wonderful resource! The content is perfectly suited for her age, with important information about artist and art . It is not long and boring . I love that it balances both learning and fun, making art an enjoyable part of our homeschool routine. We talk about the artist , their art and we try to recreate it. Unfortunately at schools they don’t talk much about famous artists or musicians. Highly recommend it for any parent looking to nurture their child’s artistic talents!
Review: Outstanding - So good. Helped my daughter understand the fundamentals of art and appreciate great artists and how they created great masterpieces. I searched around for a good book on this subject and this one is fantastic.
