This is a great book about the artist, Picasso. It is filled with fun pictures and facts that will keep young readers engaged. The book goes through Picasso's life starting with the fact that his father was an art teacher who pushed Picasso to paint certain styles of art. As Picasso got older, he discovered that he was interested in a new kind of art. He started to stylize his paintings to make them his own - instead of doing paintings that everyone else did. He used odd shapes to make people and put eyes, ears, mouth, legs, and arms where they weren't suppose to be. Many people didn't care for this type of art... but Picasso didn't care. He started doing cubism and went through different stages in life that were noticeable through his art. I love this book because of it's simple words used to talk about a great artist and his work.I would use this book to teach art students about Pablo Picasso, of course!
