An Eye for Color by Natasha Wing illustrated by Julia Breckenreid*

"The Story of Josef Albers"
Ms. Wing lived next door to Mr. Albers when she was a young girl, not fully realizing how vital he was to the art community.
Mr. Albers spent his lifetime dedicated to studying and playing with color combinations using squares.
Useful resources in the back: "author's note", "more about Josef Albers", glossary, and my favorite---"See-for-Yourself Activities".
The activities at the back lend themselves to study of color-perfect for homeschoolers and art teachers.
*Highly recommend.
Borrowed from the library.
