"100+ activities teach the styles, works, and techniques of the
great masters - Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and more. To
experience Van Gogh’s style, children mix paints into a thick
substance called “impasto” and then paint with heavy, swirling
brush strokes. Each activity contains a brief history of the
artist, a project, and an example of that artist’s work.
Discovering Great Artists is a great value for the money and
belongs on every art shelf."
~ Rainbow Resource
"Students study artists from the Middle Ages and Renaissance to
present day, and learn a variety of techniques and styles. The
publisher, Bright RIng Publishing, provides links to full color
examples of artwork by many of the artists that are featured in the
book. Highly recommended."
~ Successful Homeschooling
"You have to get this book! It is jam packed full of great ideas -
with 140 pages of information on great artists and projects
representing them. Each artist’s section has a short biography
which is what I have used for our Artist pages in our History
Notebook. There are such original and fun projects demonstrating
the style and materials used by the Artist of study. There are
projects of ink, acrylic paints, watercolors, pastels, collage
compositions, clay pieces, and just too much to mention."
~ Noggins and Nonsense
