This was a fantastic book! I shared it with my children (ages 7 and 10) and they both enjoyed it. It includes a biography of Picasso and also pictures of his work. It also includes a collage activity. This has been very helpful to me being a volunteer "Picture Lady" at the elementary school. I can share information about the artist and also share an art activity with the class. There are other artists in the Art Activity Pack Series as well. I have purchased all of them! They are perfect for sharing in a class or with your own children! Thanks for such a great series, Mila! My only question is, will there be more artists included in the series?

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not Waste Your Money. Buy Construction Paper Instead., October 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Art Activity Pack: Picasso (Paperback)

What a dissapointment! The text is a boring compilation of well known facts. There is no instructional leflet on creating collages as has been claimed in the book description. The art set includes only 6 sheets of construction paper. Get Ernest Ruboff or Mike Venezia books to introduce children to the greatest artists. Boutan's book has no originality to it and should have not ever been published. I have ordered most of the books in Boutan's series of 'activity' books and will be returning all of them. Get a set of construction paper at a dollar store and do not waste your money. There are better choices.
