Reader Reviews
For kids and adults alike, Art Songs is a gem. With catchy melodies that reflect the artist each song is about, the album entertains as it provides lessons in art and some of the most important modern artists. The songwriters' wit comes through in each song. Even though I studied art at college and work in the field, the distilled way that artists' lives and work(s) are presented allow for new insights for all. Art Songs should be used in every school, and by parents everywhere who want to give their children a head-start in art!
