Learning artists and their works - Edgar Degas

So I've been showing this little collection of famous artist books to my kids for a couple months now.  They have really caught on to a few key ideas and images per artist.  We make it a game, if they can guess the artist faster than their sibling they get to hold that book.  Whoever has the most books at the end of my review wins!  Since my husband Shannon was an art major in college and I was an art minor, we've always had a love of art.  I think because in art we are creating, like the Creator!  I don't expect my kids to be experts but they enjoy sitting and thumbing through these books - this makes me happy!  This first one I will share is Degas - they know him simply as the man who painted many picture of ballerinas!
