• What fun!
  This book is an easy-to-follow, accessible way for children to learn about American art. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will enjoy exploring their children's creativity through these hands-on experiences.

• Using Great American Artists for Kids Across the Curriculum
  Great American Artists for Kids is a wonderful book that can easily be applied across the curriculum to support other disciplines. Not only do our students learn about American heritage and the artists that have created it; but they can explore the techniques and methods of those artists. We find that the projects in the book fit into most areas of study and are relatively inexpensive. The best thing about the book is that it introduces our students to the artists they are most likely to encounter in life.

• Quotes
  Thank you for sharing this wonderful book with me. The arts, whether performing or visual, are essential to a child's learning process. Great American Artists for Kids not only introduces the American Masters to children, it also makes connections by including their works. Artistic production is very subjective. Too often viewers do not understand what it is they are seeing. Great American Artists for Kids will help nurture young viewers to new ways of seeing and thinking.

• MY MY -- this book is ASTOUNDING! COLOR COLOR COLOR
  I have quite a few of MaryAnn Kohl's books, all of them full of great ideas that are easy to set up and great for children to produce art in their own way. Kudos. All of them with very nice black line drawings. But get ready!!! Now, here she comes with a full color book that is absolutely astounding for the price. Quality artworks by great American masters are shown [alongside works by children who have taken the style of that artist and expressed it in their own work]. Still "Process, not Product"... more info
