I really love this book. Great way to teach boring fundamentals in an interesting way. Great for individuals as well as large groups. My kids love to show off their work to family!

The lessons are well designed, use simple materials, are interesting, and progress appropriately in understanding and difficulty. I plan to use this book for more than 1 year of homeschool art.
