 Discovering Great
Artists : Hands-On Art for Children in the Styles of the Great Masters by MaryAnn F. Kohl, Kim Solga, Rebecca Van Slyke (Illustrator) List Price: $14.95 Our Price: $11.96 You Save: $2.99 Review by the author, MaryAnn F. Kohl, brightring@aol.com , September 30, 1997 Picasso for Kids? Sure! I spent about an hour earlier today exploring a Picasso activity from my own book about exploring art techniques of the great masters, mixing green tempera paint into lighter and darker shades of that same green. Then I painted several works with green shades only... just like Picasso's Blue Period (MaryAnn's Green Period). What a nice way to spend an hour! Did someone say this book is for children? Then I am happy to report that I am still a kid at heart! All the ideas in this book reflect the style or techniques of great painters and artists such as Monet, van Gogh, Rembrant, da Vinci, over 80 artists from the Renaissance to the present day. All activities use materials found in most homes or classrooms. What could be easier? But most important, what could be more awesome than imitating the great masters? Kids love it!
