    teaching more art

    There are so many good artists and periods to name that you will have to decide on who to study. Some ideas though-
    *What are you studying in social studies? can you do some cross-curriculum studies?
    *Select artists that you are comfortable with. I think it is great that you are tying to incorporate more art, there is not right or wrong artist as long as you are comfortable with the lesson and the kids have fun! *There was a art philosophy started over 10 years ago called Discipline Based Art Education that may help if you want to type it in on a search engine and see what you get. Its goal is to teach: history, studio, appreciation, and production.
    * The big ones to use are Leonardo diVinci, Monet, Mary Cassat, George Seurat, Michelagelo, Edgar degas, Albrecht Durer, Vincent van Gogh, Henry Matisse, Edvard Munch, Georgia Okeffe, Pablo Picasso, and the list goes on and on.
    Here are a couple of websites you may like. The first one is a great resource for a short summary on famous artists and styles/periods. I hope this helps.
