This charming book introduces one of the most popular artists of the twentieth century; Diego Rivera; to young readers. It tells the story of Diego as a young; mischievous boy who demonstrated a clear passion for art and then went on to become one of the most famous painters in the world. Duncan Tonatiuh also prompts readers to think about what Diego would paint today. Just as Diegos murals depicted great historical events in Mexican culture or celebrated native peoples; if Diego were painting today; what would his artwork depict? How would his paintings reflect todays culture? Diego Rivera: His World and Ours is a wonderful introduction to this great artist.

I did origami as a kid; so I wanted to try it as an adult. The book says beginner and more difficult projects but doesnt identify which are which. I tried the very first project and it didnt come out right. Tried another one; and cant do it. The directions are very difficult to understand. I am going to get the papers and do it from the many free videos on you tube. There are alot of papers--that is the only good thing I can say about this kit.Im extremely disappointed and frustrated. I thought this would be relaxing--its not. Dont even consider this for a kid. I wish I had gotten the one that specifically said for beginners. This experience has really turned me off to the whole project. Dont waste your money unless you are already experienced in this craft.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
