Lessons By Artist

This is the third project I did with my 3rd-6th grade class on Charlie Russell. After watching some youtube videos on Charlie Russell and talking about his life and art, I had the kids illustrate a letter telling someone about him

I thought this would be a fun lesson to do while we are all working on staying positive during these uncertain times. Laurel Burch was an artist who was such a positive, joyful person. She also knew how to make the best out of a bad situation. I hope you will be encouraged by her story!
I did this Laurel Burch cats art project for one of my summer classes and have also done it for kindergarten to 6th grade at the school I work at. It is a fun one to do as kids like to do animal projects and this one is doable for any age.
Romero Britto
This Easter bunny art lesson in the style of Romero Britto is perfect for an at-home art lesson! All you need is some markers and paper (and creativity!)

This Mona Lisa painting project is one I have done several times and it really helps my Montana students relate to Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa painting. It is also a good mixed media project.
Fun and easy Charles Demuth art project! I did this with a bunch of different ages and they all turned out great. I’ve been buried
I love this print of Jim Dine’s titled The Handkerchief. I have done several Jim Dine projects over the years, but have never come across
I found this lesson on https://www.instagram.com/p/BmBwCtmH3e7/ when searching around for something besides a heart project to do for Jim Dine. It is a great lesson

The vivid use of color to express emotions and ideas is a trademark of Franz Marc. He is most famous for his paintings of unusually colorful animals set in almost abstract style scenery.
Need an art lesson for Valentine’s Day? Look no further. This Peter Max Heart art project is fun and full of color.
Henri Matisse is one of my favorite artists and so I am always looking for new projects to share him with my students.
This is a project I just did with my preschool class, but it could be adapted for older ages. Kids love the bright colors, funny
This is a fun lesson to do with all ages, and I have added the tissue paper background for an extra twist, since the face painting can be a fairly quick project to do.
Spring is in the air! Check out this easy step-by-step Monet art lesson for kids to channel that springtime energy! (This is a great lesson to do at home)

This Pablo Picasso Art lesson was one of my first art lessons on Picasso combining two of his signature styles.
Picasso did not actually paint a picture like this. I created this lesson back in 2011 as a way to introduce 3 different pieces of information about him: his frequent use of guitars as a subject matter, his Blue Period, and the art movement he co-founded: Cubism.

Kevin Red Star is a Native American Artist from Montana. His art is a great way to incorporate diverse perspectives in the classroom.
This is another Kevin Red Star project that I just finished with several classes. I love how these turned out with all the bright colors!

Diego Rivera is such a fun artist to learn about and do art in the style of! I hope you enjoy this watermelon art lesson!
