My students need Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artist books and excellent materials to create their own masterpieces. We love learning about these artists from Pablo Picasso to Georgia OKeefe to Andy Warhol and others.
Illustrations continue bring light and understanding to literature. Drawings with or without color continue to support, "A picture is worth a thousand words." As a seventh grade teacher in a diverse middle school, illustrations are an important part of Language Arts.
Getting To Know The World's Greatest Artists is my project title.
The students will get to know a variety of artists that have created so many pieces that even today, hundreds of years later, still hang in museums all over the world.
My Project
How do we get our students to explore and enjoy artists from all around the world? These books give us a wonderful story on each of these artists and provide a number of beautiful sketches, drawings and paintings that they have created. Learning different techniques when drawing, shading for example, students can see what beautiful pictures they can produce.
Appreciating the arts, learning about these artists and their stories will have a long-lasting impact on our students.
Reading about these artists, looking at their work and expressing our thoughts and feelings about many pieces will help improve our students' expressive writing skills.
