The Story of Painting from Cave Painting to Modern Times

We've been reading this book as part of our homeschool curriculum. Not only does it explain the art and artist but is a historical reference from the first art found from the Stone Age through the lifespan of our history. It has been a great visual of how times changed as man grew more aware of art and the beauty of seeing art with depth and meaning. This is a must for art/history lessons. Not to mention the beautiful pictures that come alive when you understand them.

Excellent. The description fits the product. Ships quick.

Great book that helps you appreciate painting more and understand it's place in expression of the story of mankind.

Great packaging, awesome book.

This book has left an imprint in my kids and I's minds since we read it as part of our art lessons for grades 6 and 10. It is rich with period art that has influenced us to learn about the different ways people have developed in creating masterpieces over the decades. The facts and history of each era makes this a wonderful tool to incorporate along side history lessons, that connects each artist to a time period when history was being made. The author speaks clearly that this book could be used for grades 2 and up. Perfect for Charlotte Mason Homeschool lessons. Which is what my kids are doing right now. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book. Describes the journey of painting from the Stone Age to the modern times. Great prints. Easy language for someone interested in art. A must read for any art enthusiast.

Great history book with good detail but not overwhelming.
