Art History Challenge #4

Do Kindergarteners know more art history than you?

Take a look at the art history poster hanging on the wall with our Design Assignments. It is from Ms. Cook's kindergarten class at Francis Wyman. The kindergarteners can recognize and name all of the artists on the poster. Can you?

Assignment:
Part 1:
Create a new file in your art history folder titled "Art History Challenge #4"
Write an essay responding to the question "Do kindergarteners know more art history than me?".
Explain and list which artist you knew or did not know. Describe when and where you have seen these works of art. Do you think that we have enough art history in school why or why not? Is there value in recognizing these and knowing these artists? Why or why not?

Part 2:
Select one of the artists that you did not know. Create a collage on your ipad of that artist's work. Select 10-15 of their images. Include their full name, date of birth and death, materials that the artist used and what style of art they created.
