DISCOVERING GRT ARTISTS 10 2/E Paperback – 4 August 2020

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.

Excelente libro para enseñar a los pequeños sobre arte y diferentes técnicas utilizadas por los artistas más representativos de la historia

This book is better than expected. The organization of it is well done with lesson plans, visuals with examples and all in color. Well worth the price!

I like the project ideas in the book, and I just find it interesting to read. It gives a good overview of many artists and their styles.

I can’t say enough about this book. With hybrid learning, my son misses his art lesson in school, so I bought this to replace it. The introduction to the artist and their style is short enough to hold his attention but confide enough to be informative. The matching activity is fun, open-ended, and easy to gather resources for. I love the variety of activities, and breadth of artists (from the renaissance to today). I love the simplicity of the layout and the clarity of the instructions. My daughter and I do the activities too and it has become a part of our family time that we really look forward to.
