The Met Georgia O'Keeffe: She saw the world in a flower (What the Artist Saw)

Very informative! Beautifully blended facts woven into storybook. Lots of images of her work and good biographical information for students.

Great art intro for kids.

Bought as a gift for my 6 year old granddaughter; absolutely beautiful!

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 is a good introduction to Georgia okeefeI wish there was more about the flower paintings

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.

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!

An interesting child’s level view of the artist. You don’t get her actual pictures- just redrawings of a few of them in a scene. I’m not sure that I wouldn’t want a book of reproductions instead.
