Week D27.
Topic Artists: Norman Rockwell, Bev Doolittle, James Christenson
Students don't need an in depth knowledge of the artist and their life, just some basic facts. More important is to introduce them to the art work. Have them look at a picture and then describe it to you. They can pick their favorite piece and do their own version of it.
These artists are very interesting to students. Rockwell usually injects humor into everyday scenes, Doolittle camouflages figures into the painting for the viewer to find, and Christenson depicts magical worlds that appeal to the young imagination.
