13 Women Artists Children Should Know

13 Women Artists Children Should Know is a children's art book which teaches a young audience about the works and lives of thirteen women artists through informative texts, puzzles, coloring exercises, and fun quizzes.

Containing colourful spreads that feature important works as well as portraits of the artists themselves, through this educational children's book children will learn how Sofonisba Anguissola, the Renaissance painter and pupil of Michelangelo, mastered portraiture in the Spanish Court; how the exquisitely wrought illustrations of Maria Sybilla Merian advanced the study of nature in the seventeenth century; and how Mary Cassatt's paintings depicted the lives of women in the nineteenth century.

Modern and contemporary artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, and Cindy Sherman round out this art book for children.

This educational art book is one of many children's art books available from the National Gallery.
