Good introduction to art

This is a very good resource for grades K-3. The concepts are easy to understand and the lessons are valuable. Along with a solid introduction to faces and shadowing in drawings and painting, this book provides a good introduction to some major artists such as van Gogh and Picasso. This is not an extensive book on the subject so it should only be purchased for fairly young children as a short introduction to the topics.
