 Lesson plans on the great artists and their techniques

Introduce your students to new ways of seeing and creating images as they explore the techniques of Joan Miro, Georges Seurat, Piet Mondrian, the Expressionists, Cubists and Surrealists with these lesson plans.

Study of a Painting: $22.00

 Art appreciation for every classroom

Looking at others' art work also stimulates a child's own creative ideas. Study of a Painting comes in four (4) parts that get progressively harder as the student becomes more adept at reading and writing and more knowledgeable about art.

Part I (OBSERVE): Students observe and list what they see in the painting--a boy, some trees, colored squares, wiggly lines.
Part 2 (DESCRIBE): Students break down the objects in the painting and describe them alone and as a whole.
