This review is from: Renaissance Artists Who Inspired the World (Explore the Ages) (Hardcover)

The book Renaissance Artists Who Inspired The World as one of the Explore The Ages books was a satisfying and delightful
read. As both a grade school educator and Italianate , the reader found this book to be a treasured experience .

The book was a complete learning experience with text , visuals
and end of book learning activities .

The text was well researched and thourough . It presented a balanced view of artists , accomplishments and of women artists as well.

The visuals are rich with information and color. They continue to be a source or information and enjoyable source for rereading. The timelines are perhaps the best of any .

The learning activities of Readers' Theater , Family Theater , variety of activities and the Test of Knowledge
create a complete reading and learning experience.

The glossary , index and skills index are reader and learner compatible as well .

Reading this book was especially enjoyable after just taking a mini course about the Renaissance Art. The two seemed to be complimentary . The book was very successful in delivering information about what the Renaissance inspired . A follow up trip to Italy proved the reading of this book to be very helpful. The Renaissance spirit easily captured in this book makes it easily discovered again in Italy .

Thank you Gregory Blanch and Roberta Stathis for this true treasure !
