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:
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.
What Artists are included in Vol 1?
- Pablo Picasso
- Vincent Van Gogh
- Jackson Pollock
- Claude Monet
- Henry Matisse
- Georgia O’keefe

Wow thanks so much! this looks great!
Hi there Erica just wondering where will I buy the resources from Books on these artists. Thank you Odelee
This is amazing. Every summer I’ve always wanted to do something like this–with friends and neighborhood kids–even plan some field trips to the local art galleries! To end the unit I’ve always wanted to have an “Art Gallery Opening” of all the kids’ work from over the summer. You know, get those cute art lamps from Ikea…hang everything at their eye level…invite parents, friends, community members….and now!? I have NO excuse!!! 🙂 Could THIS be *the* summer!??? Amazing! GREAT stuff!!!! Such a great, complete unit! Love it!!
I’ve tried to download this a few times already & have had no luck. Is there any other way I can download it? Thank you! -Carol
What’s the difference between the curriculum alone, the books alone and a combination? thanks
This is awesome! Thank you!
Where would I find the books about each artist from? I plan on doing this either this summer or in the fall with my children
