Where Has All The Creativity Gone? Art Books, Please!

Above is a link to a DonorsChoose proposal that has unfortunately not been funded. It consists of a plea for a series of books from the "Get to Know the World's Greatest Artists" series written by Mike Venezia. I had some of these books during the last school year, but they've all since disappeared due to students' feverish reading. I'd love to get the full series, but on a teacher's salary, that won't be happening any time soon. If anyone can donate a few dollars or pass it on to another generous philanthropist who could, it would be GREATLY appreciated. The proposal will be removed from the site in 43 days!

"You're pretty full of yourself. You're marvelling at the tragic spectacle of Caleb Trask--Caleb the magnificent, the unique. Caleb whose suffering should have its Homer. Did you ever think of yourself as a snot-nose kid--mean sometimes, incredibly generous sometimes? Dirty in your habits, and curiously pure in your mind. Maybe you have a little more energy than most, just energy, but outside of that you're very like all the other snot-nose kids. Are you trying to attract dignity and tragedy to yourself because your mother was a whore? And if anything should happen to your brother, will you be able to sneak for yourself the eminence of being a murderer, snot-nose?"
