Beautifully presented intro to the artist

This is a beautifully presented book that introduces the life and work of Georgia O'Keefe, explaining her history, ethos, style and progression in a really accessible way. The illustrations are lovely, the historical text is good for the target age-range, and there are some thoughtful creative exercises in there too.

My 9-year old daughter absolutely loves this, and I sense that it's inspirational in a far more effective way than simply seeing the artworks themselves.

Great books to introduce kids to art, as DK continue to up their game

I used to not think much of DK as a publisher, mainly because of how their books looked. Their travel books looked like kids' encyclopaedias, and the content fell short of their rivals.
But I've had a few books from them of late where things seem to have changed, and this "What the Artist Saw" series embodies that change.
Gone is the old obsession with white and shiny covers. This lovely hardback is packed with colour, and printed on lovely thick, matt paper.
Aimed at kids aged 7-9 (which is about right), this book tells the story of what inspired Georgia O'Keefe, from her childhood into her career, and provides images of about 20 of her artworks.
Also in the series are Louise Bourgeois, Monet, Hokusai, Van Gogh and Faith Ringgold. I hope they add more, as my eight-year-old niece really enjoyed this, and I'd like to add to her collection.

This book is beautiful and describes Georgia O’Keeffe‘s life as well as her art. I love the gallery at the back of the book which showcases all her best artwork.

It also has ideas of how you can re-create the feel of her paintings with some ideas that are really quite good.

This is a fantastic book for key stage two but also key stage three. I’m really impressed. I learned some new information about the artist also!

The drawings are beautiful and it’s not just a short book. It will keep a child entertained for a long time.

Super educational, beautiful illustrated, encourages creativity and is pitched to interest adults as well as children. Always good with the kids book if you can get the adult to want to read it as well! Worked with me.

Lovely book on an inspirational artist

A gorgeous book that gives you a summary of Georgia O’Keeffe’s life alongside beautiful illustrations and little art challenges to do.
I think this is a great book for a child who is getting into art, that they can read with an adult and then have fun doing some of the art challenges.
I also liked that a timeline of her notable art works was included as I wasn’t too familiar with all of her pieces. You can definitely see her life’s journey reflected in her art and how much she was influenced by what was surrounding her at the time.
This book doesn’t go too much into depth of her life, it’s very surface level information but I think for a young a person this is quite appropriate.

(Children friendly version of) O'Keeffe's life for children to be inspired

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This is a wonderful book for children who like painting and especially for girls who are aspiring artists. It's important that they have strong female characters to see as an example.

This book won't disappoint. It gives a summary of Georgia O'Keeffe' life, including her inspirations for painting and encourages children to use similar inspirations to paint using prompt questions. Her life is written in a child friendly version which is good.

I'm reading this to my 2 year old but she doesn't understand that much, yet she loves talking about what she can see. I think primary school children would appreciate it more.

Brilliant!

Beautiful book about a great artist

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This is a wonderful book. I love the illustrations. I ordered this for my niece who is 8 and I think it's written really well for a child, it is written very simply and keeps the story of Georgia O'Keefe's life interesting for a young person. The glossary and timeline recapping her work at the end is great. I love that this hardcover book doesnt have a jacket, just a lovely printed cover.

This is an enchanting biography of an artist where it lets you see inside her artistic eye so really interested. As you can You’d imagine it’s illustrated beautifully and snippets of information written very concisely. I couldn’t put it down. Perfect for a young budding artist to get a feel for what it takes to succeed. A great read
