They're beautifully presented too. I'm really impressed with how much art you've done with your youngsters- I think with your teaching they've already had more art instruction than I ever received in all my years of school. Which is why I need to read these books now. I've nearly exhausted my libraries supply- and am planning on ordering some more online.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-11969963406729019122011-06-10T14:26:18.469+10:002011-06-10T14:26:18.469+10:00Wonderful recommendation, thank you!

The Picasso book sounds very interesting, I've never really known much about him- he does sound an intriguing and intelligent man.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-3082874720018599232011-06-04T09:46:40.006+10:002011-06-04T09:46:40.006+10:00Very cool book concept - glad you featured it here...Very cool book concept - glad you featured it here. I read Life With Picasso last year, written by his mistress. I enjoyed it very much and not only learned about the man behind the art, but gained a better appreciation for his modern spin on things.<br /><br />-Mollyquirky girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157385874399477807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-72943865263806273212011-06-04T09:00:15.728+10:002011-06-04T09:00:15.728+10:00What a wonderful project to do with your granddaug...What a wonderful project to do with your granddaughter Margot! And I'd be so thrilled and amazed if you looked at these books. It would be a good one for comparing opinions. It is such an intriguing series of books. I've read 13 Modern Artists too. Sadly, my library doesn't have the 13 Women Artists book. I might have to try and get it on an interlibrary loan. And I'm looking forward to the 13 Sculptures, and 13 Photos too.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-86082701425956230952011-06-04T02:57:31.008+10:002011-06-04T02:57:31.008+10:00I knew all but three too (Klee, Marc, and Kahlo). ...I knew all but three too (Klee, Marc, and Kahlo). I'd like to know more. I checked at the library and Amazon to see if the book is avaiable and discovered there's a whole series of these books. I'm going to suggest this one and 13 Women Artists Children Should Know to my 12-year-old granddaughter. She and I are going to do a book project this summer where we compare our opinions. Thanks for mentioning this book. It's become a good suggestion/recommendation.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.com
