I want to thank Kirsten for coming to my rescue this week with another guest post with an art book. I am SO pleased to have learned about this neat book. Won’t you join me in learning about it?
life of Giotto and explains his drive to create art that led him to
become one of the greatest painters of all time.
little text, although the reading level is beyond the reach of little
ones. It is a perfect book to give to older school-aged children and even
teens. But I used it as a read aloud book so my children could listen,
look at the glorious pictures, and discuss ideas that came up along the
way.
like painting with egg (as Giotto did), reading a short biography of
his life, and perusing a book by Madeline L’Engle that is filled with
his pictures telling the story of the life of Jesus.

What a lovely book. The images are just stunning. I don't believe I know this painter so I will have to do some reading. Thanks for the link.
