Famous Artists
Leonardo DaVinci
DaVinci’s last name came from the town that he came from in Italy. He was an artist of the Renaissance Era. Not only was he a famous artist but he was an architect, musician, sculptor, and scientist. DaVinci had a peculiar way of writing his notes; he wrote them all backward so the others could not steal his work. At twenty he moved to Florence to help his teacher, who gave him his start in painting. He was one of the first artists to paint Jesus and Mary smiling and he left many of his paintings unfinished. DaVinci’s most famous works include “The Last Supper” of Jesus and his twelve disciples and the “Mona Lisa” whose eyes always seem to be looking at the person viewing the painting. He died in France.
Pablo Picasso
Picasso was an artist during the 20th century and his works were very different from the artists of his era, including some round and some flat paintings. His father was an art teacher and at age nineteen Picasso moved to France. Picasso was an artist whose work went through many different periods. The Blue Period was when his works changed and his paintings were not selling and his paintings were sad. The Rose Period was next and Picasso began to paint with happier colors and things such as circus characters, this period came about because he met a girl named Ferdinand. Cubism was his next period where the entire painting was made up of cubes. Guernica was a Spanish town that was destroyed and this was one of Picasso’s most serious paintings and a form of propaganda, he used darker colors and the painting was very large. Picasso lived until he was ninety-two years old.
Vincent VanGogh
VanGogh was one of the most tragic artists; he never smiled in his self-portraits. He was born in Holland. VanGogh was a teacher and preacher and was not happy with his life so he became an artist. As a preacher his first paintings were of poor people because that was what he knew. VanGogh tended to use dark colors until he saw Japanese artwork, and he began to use more color. He moved to Paris with his brother Theo. VanGogh painted his bedroom where he added a self portrait a picture of his mother. His paintings were very thick and the painting of “Starry Night” looked like the stars were really shining. No one was really interested in his work when he was alive. VanGogh took his own life. He was an artist who used his feelings to provoke emotion in his work.
Jacob Lawrence
Lawrence was born in New Jersey. His paintings are from scenes of everyday life and usually consist of many scenes with sentences. Lawrence later moved to Harlem and was placed in a daycare/settlement house where he learned a great deal about art. This is when he began to paint street scenes on cardboard boxes, and his neighbors quickly became his family. A local artist in Harlem helped him with his art, but most of what he learned was on his own. Lawrence became very interested in African American history and in his paintings he used flat shades and colors. One painting that Lawrence did was sixty paintings in all and they were painted simultaneously. At the age of thirty-two he became famous and went to the hospital for depression.
Claude Monet
Monet was born in France in 1840 and a year later he was baptized. Monet’s family moved to Normandy where his father wanted him to go into the family grocery store business, but he wanted to become an artist. His mother died when he was sixteen years old and he went live with his Aunt. When Monet visited The Louvre in Paris he watched painters copying from the old masters, where he preferred to paint things the he saw out the window. In 1866 Monet painted “Camille” or “The Woman on the Green Dress” of his wife and this painting brought him a lot of recognition. In 1868 he attempted suicide because of financial strain. In 1926, at the age of eighty-six Monet died of lung cancer.

Castle
I made a castle out of a hat box, a shoe box, a toothpick box and toilet paper rolls. I used construction paper and sugar cubes to decorate the outside of the castle. As a teach I would like to impliment this as a project in my classroom by having my students create a castle and write a story about the people that live there or about themselves and their life in the castle.
Primary Color BINGO!
Primary Color BINGO is a game for children who are learning how to mix primary colors and the colors that are made by mixing them. Each color appears two times but they can only chose one at a time. The first student to get three in a row and says, "BINGO! " wins.
Story Board
This is a story board about a baby who has a pacifier and is content sleeping and the pacifier falls out of her mouth. She begins to cry and her parent places the pacifier back in her mouth, and then she falls back to sleep again.
Diorama
This is my diorama on littering. I believe that throwing trash in the trash can is something that everyone can easily do to keep our world clean.
Math Activity/Clay Creation
This is a math activity done with clay creations. The student would create apples and bananas to display different math problems. The paper is laminated so they could write the answers with an dry erase marker for reuse.
Science Activity/Clay Creation
This is a clay creation of the planet Saturn. I would also use this as a science activity. Each student would have clay and produce a planet using pictures, then we would learn about the solar system and each student would do a report on the planet that they chose.
My World
This is view of my perfect world. My perfect world would simply be all beautiful. I chose to use the cool color family because they are soothing and calming.
Beach Landscape
This is a landscape the I created. I really enjoy going to the beach and I thought it would be fun to create a scene of one of my favorite places in the world to be!
Beads! Beads! Beads!
I made this necklace out of assorted real and paper beads. I made a pattern out of the assorted beads. I made the pendant out of pipe cleaners, it is in the shape of a "W" for my first initial. The paper beads were made to in blue and white to compliment the pendant.
Self Portrait
This is my self portrait. I also added a poem about myself around the edges. Each letter of my name is capitalized in each sequential sentence.
