My Rating:★★★★☆
You know who the greats are but do you know how they got started? This was an enjoyable children's book even for me as an adult. Each chapter dives into the childhood of an artist, and it's not just the artists represented on the cover. "Kid Artists" is art history with guided illustration. You'll learn the culture of some, about language barriers and differences for a few, and how many artists are under dogs who take a risk and run away with ideas.
Highlights and Thoughts:
- Some soup for the soul - From tomato soup made of ketchup, salt, pepper and water, to Campbell's Soup; a luxury and comfort in a can for Andy Warhol.
- Some other artists to list that aren't depicted on the front of this book are Yoko Ono, Jackson Pollock, Vincent Van Gogh, and Dr. Seuss.
- This book would be great for any child aspiring to become an artist.
I received this book through a giveaway listed by Quirk Books on Goodreads.com, in return this is my honest opinion and review of the reading.
