Customer Reviews

Usborne - Awesome Books

Another great Usborne book! Great for use in elementary school. Love the web link - can use in class - has teaching "games". My kids just love it when we have "lesson" day, just as much as when we are doing projects.

One of the best

I got this book for my 9 year old niece, and I spent days looking at it before I gave it to her for Christmas. This book is so fantastic. The pages are filled with famous art, ranging from Renoir to Andy Warhol. It also has "side notes" about the background of the artist(s), how or why the piece came to be, and other interesting facts and tidbits. It's colorful and it's printed on quality paper. It's definitely one of the best art books for kids I've ever seen. Highly reccomend this one!

great art book

This is a great art book for any one who wants to learn more about art. It is full of pictures and facts about artists. The great thing is that it gives trusted sites for finding more pictures and facts of arts and artists and ideas to create your own art. Wonderful book.

A wonderful introductory art book!

I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It is simply written and explains why various artists and their works are considered masters. I even enjoyed the simple and straightforward explanations as to what differentiates one artist's work from another. This book can be read a page or two at a time - about the amount of space offered to each artist/work.

Great book!

The book has beautiful paintings by more than 13 of the more well-known artists. Thoughout the book the reader is introduced to the artist, the time period the artist lived in, his or her specific method used to create the picture, and many other useful facts related to art. The book is internet linked. Please be aware that this book does display art in it's true form. (My younger children were a little surprised to see the nudes from Michelangelo and Botticelli.) The book makes an excellent starting point and reference for exposing your child to art and to help them to build an appreciation for it.
