Reviews"DePaola's well-honed, color drenched artwork...is warmly appealing; a deceptively simple approach underscored by pure craft". - Booklist , starred review "The perennial conflict between Individual and Authority, or between Artist and Society, lies beneath this anecdote, and it's gratifying to see the small non-conformist accommodated. Everyone can enjoy dePaola's gentle autobiographical evocation of a loving family and a happy obsession". - School Library Journal, "DePaola's well-honed, color drenched artwork...is warmly appealing; a deceptively simple approach underscored by pure craft".

This is an inspired and childlike offering, perhaps one of dePaola's best." -- Publishers Weekly "The perennial conflict between Individual and Authority, or between Artist and Society, lies beneath this anecdote, and it's gratifying to see the small non-conformist accommodated.

SynopsisThis modern classic celebrates the individuality in all of us and the joy of artistic expression. Tommy knows he wants to be an artist when he grows up. He can't wait to get to school and have real art lessons. When Tommy gets to school and finds out that the art lessons are full of "rules", he is surprised and dismayed. How the wise art teacher finds a way to give Tommy the freedom to create and stay within the "rules" makes a wonderfully perceptive picture book about growing up and keeping one's individuality. Tomie dePaola is the author and illustrator of many beloved books for children, including the Caldecott Honor Book Strega Nona . Fans of all ages will be pleased to hear that The Art Lesson is, in fact, based on the artist's own experiences growing up, and offers a welcome glimpse into his past. This bright picture book is as covered with drawings as the walls of Tommy's parents' and grandparents' houses, and sends an inspirational message to budding artists and individualists.

Tomie DePaola's classic picture book encourages young artists to keep creating wonderful things.
Nobody did it better than Tomie. Kids will love this simple picture book about a young budding artist who draws on his sheets, on his walls and eagerly dreams of going to school where he will have ART LESSONS! Alas, he is bitterly disappointed when he learns he cannot use his big box of crayons and only gets on piece of paper. His creative art teacher comes up with a solution...and the young boy grows up to be an artist.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
