Follow Mary Blair's life filled with colors—lemon yellow, azure, celadon, tangerine, steel gray, and more! Students will learn how initially Mary's artwork was rejected by her supervisors at Disney. She quit after a year. Later, Walt Disney himself saw potential in her colorful style and rehired her as an art director. But her art career wasn't just with Disney. She was a picture book illustrator, commercial artist, and set designer.
An inspiring story matched perfectly with lively illustrations!
