As I've mentioned before, we like to keep our artist studies simple. Some of our favorite books for learning about artists include:
The Katie and the… series by James Mayhew
The What Makes a (artist's name) a (artist's name)? series by Richard Muhlberger
The For Kids series by various authors – Some examples are Monet and the Impressionists for Kids or Leonardo da Vinci for Kids.
What are some of your favorite books for studying artists?
