Find Best Price at Amazon"I bought this book to include hands on ideas as we study the Early Modern Era (1600-1850) using Story of the World as our history spine. The child experiences focusing on these two things by drawing the face of someone sitting next to a spotlight or unshaded lamp and sketching as best they can facial features and shadows after careful observation. Each activity includes a short, simple paragraph explaining that Rembrandt was well known for doing each of these things very well. There are a few small black and white images of masterworks in the book but they're for reference, not for study. Mike Venezia does a series of short, simple biographies of artists and their works and historical figures that would fit this age and ability range. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=Mike+venezia There are places online and many books that have full color images of masterworks for the child to look at. This is particularly useful for people incorporating these activities into a lesson plan based on a history spine. If you're studying The Early Modern Era (1600-1850) there are 8 artists that fit that time period. If you're studying The Late Modern Era (1850-present day) there are about 56 artists that fit that time period. Being long and bound on the narrow side it's harder for those of us who use a 36 week file folder system for assignments. I had my local Staples cut the spine off and 3 whole punch it for me along the bottom of the pages so I can put each one in the file for the week we actually do it. 32 The Opened West/ Audubon 35. UPDATED: 7/8/15. These are my lessons plans to coordinate with Story of the World 4 By Bauer. I found and ordered: Cassat, Cezanne, Chagall, Dali, Degas, Gauguin, Kahlo, Kandinsky, Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Seurat, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gough. 31 Western Bullies & American Money, The Marshall Plan (Seurat 54, French).
