Impressionism: 13 Artists Children Should Know

Impressionism: 13 Artists Children Should Know is a great way to take a first look at impressionism, looking at thirteen prominent artists—Edouart Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Gustave Caillebotte, Edgar Degas, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, John Singer Sargent, Paul Signac, Childe Hassam, Georges Seurat, Mary Cassatt, and Max Liebermann. The life of each artist is highlighted along with a historical timeline to provide perspective on what was going on at the same time in the world. Some of each artist's work is featured, with notes that offer more information. I especially like how suggestions are made for children to try to do what artists did. Great first look at impressionism.
