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!

Artists1Binder

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:

I highly recommend the Mike Venezia Books to go along with my curriculum, they are included in the lesson plans. The books are a fun addition and are perfect for younger kids!

If you would like to skip this additional cost, you can often find them at your local library, or you can do internet searches for each piece of art discussed as you go through the curriculum as well.

  1. 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! 🙂

  2. 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!

  3. Thank you SO much for sharing this wonderful artist curriculum, Erica!! My son and I have started to explore more science concepts – it sounds like it's time to introduce art into our activities, too. If I post about our art exploration on my blog, I'll be sure and link to your site. What a fabulous resource you've created!!
