Customer Reviews

Good introduction to Degas

I purchased this for use with my children in their study of Degas. It was put together well and had some interesting activities. The poster to color was a hit with our family. I would caution the purchaser that both the book and the activity notebook have some "nude" sculpture...can't quite tell if the dancer is wearing a leotard or not but the impression was of a nude to my young boys. I would preview this before sharing if you are sensitive to that sort of thing.

Superb intro to the life and style of Degas

I used this book, along with the other's by Boutan, in my classroom in a huge unit on artists and their works. These book set each artist apart from each other with interesting details that you can't find in an average book. It makes it very easy for the children to pick out the artist's other works and a greater understanding and appreciation is achieved when the children try the techniques with the products enclosed! Learning and Fun! A+!
