To many, impressionist painters are the best known. From Edgar Degas to Mary Cassatt, the impressionists created beautiful works that are found in museums all over the world—and even more prints of them are found in homes! This book profiles some of these big-name impressionists and shows their famous pieces. Guided by a friendly gallery worker, readers investigate what features one finds in impressionist works as well as the differences between a gallery and a museum. Activities throughout the book encourage readers to try their hand at impressionist techniques and ideas.

      Gr 3-6-These introductions to art movements attempt an immersive approach, combining historical context, brief biographies, and four projects to give readers multiple access points to the material. Good explanations, definitions, and descriptions of art are somewhat undermined by digital illustration copies of the works, instead of actual reproductions. Art projects are exercises in creating art within guidelines and utilize a variety of techniques (collage, painting, photography, assembly). Each activity incorporates a planning or sketch phase. Design is bold and busy, but nonetheless readable. Of the 24 artists profiled, four are of non-Western descent and six are female-identified. The strongest is Impressionism; the weakest is Pop Art for making generalizations that are tenuous at best. VERDICT A lively take on art history; pair with information about accessing images of art in books or online.
