Audio Reviews:

"Art teachers could use the tapes to introduce the artists, possibly supplemented with visuals of their works. The tape could also be used in part as a teaser for further research or to promote reading of the book."
                    -School Library Journal
 
"This audio could be a wonderful starting point for introducing young people to art."
                    -Kliatt
 
"Krull's deliciously gossipy thumbnail biographies make a smashing transition to audiocassette - every bit as fascinating for adults as for children."
                     starStarred Review, Publishers Weekly
 
"The biographies touch on highlights, emphasizing off-beat details...designed to capture the imaginations of young listeners."
                     -AudioFile

SYNOPSIS:

From Da Vinci to Warhol, each of these 20 artists is respectfully exposed for their idiosyncracies as well as their contributions to the history of art. What they ate, what they wore, who they loved and who their friends were - it's all here. See Curricular Connections for complete listing of artists profiled.
