The excercises are excellent, well chosen and well explained. It starts with an overview of supplies and setting up the workspace.

I fully recommend this as a book to be left out for the children to leaf through as they will all find something beautiful to draw them into the world of fine art. This is a good resource for her to have moving forward.

Focuses art from the standpoint of the movements that took place instead of individual artists. Very informative and enjoyable for the art lover.

The pictures are colorful and clear and the book is loaded with the bright images. I especially appreciate that dk print is actually legible for someone without 20/20 vision.

The kindle version is a disaster. The font size is laughingly small. Avoid the kindle version. Go with the hardcopy format.
