My son has become very interested in art of all kinds- drawing, coloring, play dough sculptures, painting, chalk art etc. So while earlier this month I decided to be more intentional with what music we listen to during play time I have also decided to formally teach him about famous artists and their styles and techniques with imitation art projects.
So the companion to my 12 Months of Famous Composers was born: 12 Months of Famous Artists!
The concept here is straight forward and easy to implement. Each month, print the materials and templates included for that particular month. Display and review the information card/poster about the artist with your child(ren). For each month two art projects are included along with everything you need for the projects (except the paint)! I designed these with my 3 (almost 4) year old in mind so the projects are simple enough for young children to complete but could also be done with older kids in more detail and with more precision!
The famous artists included in this download are: Matisse, Kandinsky, Monet, Van Gogh, Mondrian, Hokusai, Warhol, Gauguin, Seurat, Kusama, Pollock, and Michelangelo.
We can’t wait to get started in January (tbh we may actually start early and do December first)! Interested in doing this with us? You’ll find the download by clicking HERE. If you share any photos to your social media account don’t forget to tag @SpaidsintheClassroom!
