Unknown Artists" The art in this journal is beautiful and in full color with pictures that would appeal to anyone. I love that we can learn together with this one or each child could have their own. I love that there are questions to go more in depth about the picture and the artist and about our own feelings when viewing the art. I think everyone would enjoy this book and have the added bonus of learning which is what Fun Schooling and Thinking Tree is all about." - Wendy"Focusing on artists and their work, this book introduces kids to different kinds of art. Great as an accompaniment to an art program, I definitely recommend it. We are going to be trying out each style of art with different paints, concepts and traditions. A very neat and thorough way to keep art appreciation alive in new generations! " - Serena Published by the The Thinking Tree, llcFunSchooling.com Read more
