Beautiful card game, BUT the best is the enclosed art book that tell about the style, color, texture, description, etc. at a level children can understand. Great book and cards for teaching adults and children about Impressionistic art. I will be using this set in my classroom.

Go Fish for Art is a fun way for your kids to learn artists and their works. You get a beautiful deck of cards and a mini booklet that includes brief biographies of the painters. Artist studied in this deck include Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, Seurat, Rousseau, and Toulouse-Lautrec. The game is easy to learn because everyone knows how to play "go fish." A memory game suggestion is also included. The cards are printed on high quality cardstock that is coated in plastic so the deck should hold up well for many years of use.

We have had this game for a couple years and love it. My kids (7 yrs, 10 yrs, and 12 yrs) absolutely love to play it as much as I do. We make a pot of tea and have some great family game time. You play it just as you would play Go Fish. They are learning about great art and artists while having fun. What's better than that? A definite 5. One suggestion, though: the only thing that this game gives you over the Go Fish deck only is the book which tells about the art, which we rarely if ever look at. So you could certainly save money by just buying the Go Fish version which is just the deck but the exact same game.
