Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a fun unit study for next year! It’s called The World’s Greatest Artists Vol. 1 and I’m excited to share it here with you today!
Come along on our quest to learn about some of the world’s greatest artists! So grab some art supplies and get ready to explore, create, and learn!
In this series of artist studies, we will be learning about 8 of the world’s greatest artists. We will immerse ourselves in the work of each artist so we become well familiar with their style, methods, and images.
Each study includes:
- Lesson plans for each week
- Lap Book printables
- Artist Notebooking page
- Art Puzzles
- Artist Flashcards
Much of our time studying will be through open discussion and hands on experimentation. Upon completion of this curriculum you will be able to easily recognize the artwork from each artist studied, learn to look at art critically, as well as have gained an appreciation for art in general. You will also have explored some new techniques, and created several of your own unique masterpieces! And at the end you’ll have a wonderful Greatest Artists Lap Book to refer to!
Resources needed for this study include:
What Artists are included in Vol 1?
- Pablo Picasso
- Vincent Van Gogh
- Jackson Pollock
- Claude Monet
- Henry Matisse
- Georgia O’keefe
- Michelangelo
- Leonardo Da Vinci

Thank you for sharing. It came out just in time! We plan to learn famous artists this summer.
Erica…Thank You for this great study! I've been wanting to do something with my kids, but my great intentions never seem to play out due to poor planning. This is complete, easy and will be such a joy to do with my children this coming year. I hope I can use it to instill a love for the uniqueness God has given everyone in the ability to be creative. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Incredible work! Thank you!!! I've been recommending Expedition Earth every chance I get…I'll be sure to recommend this one too!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, and I'll be sharing a link to it on my Thrifty Thursday post this morning!
You are AMAZING! Thank you so much.I wrote an "Ode to Erica" post to spread the word about your amazingness (and your artist study)http://ordinaryhappilyeverafter.com/blog/2011/06/dear-erica-i-love-you/
Amazing!!!! What a great job you have done putting this together! I wasn't even planning to do art with my kids this year, but I think you've just convinced me otherwise. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
What an amazing resource you've put together. Thank you for sharing it!
Just wondering something. Are there 48 hours in a day in your world? I just don't understand how you have time to get everything done! You are amazing. I'm so appreciative to God for the talents that He has given to you, and that He has given you a sweet spirit to share it all with us. May the LORD continue to bless you and give you new ideas, so that we may all receive His blessings through you.
Oohhhhh just what I have been searching for!!!!!!!!!! Erica your such a blessing!!!!! Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing! I look forward to working through this with my boys.
Just downloaded the program and ordered all my books from half.com! $35 for a 32 week curriculum is AWESOME in my book!Thanks Erica for all you do!
You are a God-send once again!!! Just 2 days ago my son saw the Mona Lisa and started asking about DaVinci. Yesterday we found a history video on Youtube but I was wishing I had something more. Today I open my inbox and my wish has come true. You are amazing. I am so thankful for all you do and share!!!
Erica, I have been looking all over for something like this. This is absolutely fabulous! Thank you <3
Thank you Erica! This looks awesome!!
Thank you, Erica! This is going to be a great fit with our studies next year. I appreciate you making this available for free (so kind of you!) and that you have done the planning for me
wonderful!Best Wishes!
You are SUCH a BLESSING! I actually got some of these books at the Scholastic Warehouse sale in hopes to do them with my kids next year. (of course the ones I bought are not in this volume but..I'm patient) :0 We look forward to our trip around the world with you next year and now discovering great artists with you!thank you again. (I also posted in on my FB page and to our homeschool loop!)
This is awesome! I think I will add this to our curriculum for next year. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do (and how do you do it all, by the way?
).
This is AMAZING! Thank you! This is only our first year, so I don't want to over do it, but I would love to add this! Maybe if I stretch it out over two years!
You are a super-duper curriculum creating machine! I love it! Thank you!
This is a AWESOME Unit…..Thank you! I do wonder 1 thing though. Do you have any recommendations for the "additional resources" for this that can be used other than the recommended books listed from Amazon. With a small budget I can not afford $6.95 per book. All in all, $55.00 to get them all. Any freebies out there that you could recommend? Thanks!
You Rock!! Just in time for our summer camp! God Bless You!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
You ROCK!!! Thanks for sharing!Jennifer
I am so excited for this! I was working on my curriculum plans for the coming school year and these books were what I was planning to base our artists study on and then I find a free curriculum to go with it… blessing!!! Thank you so much!
Love, love, love this!!!! Thank you! Not sure if I'll be using it this year, but definitely saving it for future use if not!
