Artist Biographies to Study (List)

Artist Biographies to Study | List
When teaching art, you can bring this subject to life by reading living books on the lives of the great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci as pictured. Here is a list of Artist Biographies to Study. Simply choose an artist to read:
  • 1 per month (9 yearly) or
  • 1 per term (3-4 yearly)
and look at one Picture Study each week of that artist's works. This way you can get to know the artist and the art. Also, see how to easily fit art into a complete Enrichment Program here.
Before reading the list, I want to gently remind you of a few things:
  • Do enjoy reading together with your children about the lives of the artists!
  • Do look at a Picture Study, hang it up, and enjoy the art for beauty's sake!
  • Don't feel overwhelmed with the list or feel you have to do them all. (Why not start with just 1 per term?)
Note: The CAPITALIZED ARTISTS are included in a living book that is available free online: Knights of Art: Stories of the Italian Painters by Amy Steedman.
