Description
The Artist's Activity Pack bundle contains 20 different artists. I use this activity as an extension for my early finishers, allowing them to select an artist from the pack to create a mini-masterpiece following the artmaking prompt on the card.
However, they could also be used as a mini-lesson, sub-class or art history course. I use this with students aged 12-17.
Each artist's card contains a brief biography/key features of their work, an image of the artist, and some of their key artworks with citations, and an artmaking prompt. On the other side of the card is a literacy task where students answer a question about a specific artwork using a scaffolded word bank.
The artists in this bundle are:
- Vincent Van Gogh
- Frida Kahlo
- Pablo Picasso
- Keith Haring
- Del Kathryn Barton
- Yayoi Kusama
- Andy Warhol
- Leonardo da Vinci
- Henry Matisse
- Claude Monet
- Wassily Kandinsky
- Jean-Michel Basquiat
- Hilma af Klint
- Barbara Kruger
- Georgia O'Keeffe
- Albert Namatjira
- Henry Moore
- Paul Klee
- Jackson Pollock
- Sidney Nolan
I have also included the same cards, but with blank spaces for you to write your own questions/artmaking prompts so that you can easily customise the tasks to your specific students.
The document is very versatile and can be printed double-sided as a physical resource, digitally projected, or uploaded straight to Google Classroom etc.
