Reviews
Booklist
“Beginning with naturalism and ending with photorealism, with many stops along the way, this compact overview documents the shifts, both in terms of technique as well as subject matter, that differentiate each style from its predecessors. . . An obvious choice for museum-bound children to glean a few basics of what they’re about to see, this is also indispensable for any middle-grade classrooms introducing art history.”

Library Media Connection
“While art teachers will be happy with the volume, classroom teachers who have to teach art on their own, or those with an interest in visual art, will find this well worth the money. Highly Recommended.”

School Library Journal
“This book looks at stylistic movements in Western art from the birth of Naturalism during the Renaissance through the 20th century, ending with Op Art and Photorealism.”
