Artist Studies

I love artist studies. We usually keep them short, one to two days, and attempt to recreate the artwork of the artist or their style. This often means we create truly unique art, but it’s so much fun.

Clearly, I need to finish putting out our various Renaissance artist studies, because I know I have more of these…

Modern history artist studies

Modern history starts somewhere in the 1700s, according to most divisions of time people have. That means modern history encompasses a lot of different art styles. It is also the time period I have the most artists for, which is ironic because I don’t like “Modern art”.

I’m not the only one studying artists with my kids

I asked around for people to let me know what they’ve done with their kids, so here are some other people’s studies.
