ART

When I was a little girl, I used to go to the library and check out enormous art books about Monet, VanGogh, Matisse, Picasso and many more. I was interested in everything from Impressionists to Pop Art and all the artists in between. There was a time when I could easily identify all the famous painters and their masterpieces. I have always relished in visiting museums, learning about art and painting. My two loves have been art and writing and I have never strayed from these interests. If only my guidance counselor hadn't talked me out of going to art school...but that's another story.

This amazing book, simply titled ART is one of the best art books I've ever looked at. ART features over 2,500 works of art from cave drawings to present day. My fingers were trembling as I opened this fabulous and thorough book which includes information presented in a very exciting and fun way. My kids were even excited to read about their favorite artists- Picasso, Van Gogh and Andy Warhol to name a few.

I cannot wait to sit down and go page by page, taking in all the engaging facts and details about the artwork featured. Color theory, concepts, imagery and more is what you will discover in ART. I am so impressed with this book which is suitable for kids and adults. It will remain a treasured item in my house and I will refer to it forever. I'm so inspired by ART. I need an easel and new paints, maybe Santa will bring this to me for Christmas.

As a little girl, I did something terrible- I ripped out pages of the paintings I loved in those library books. Now I will never have to do that again, I have all my beloved pieces of artwork in one enormous and comprehensive book. Click here for more information.
