50 Artists throughout Art History for Elementary K-8 Art Appreciation Curriculum

This bundle provides you with dozens of artist PowerPoints to use as a foundation for an Art History or Art Appreciation Curriculum. These PowerPoints teach your elementary and middle school students about artists of different backgrounds and different styles from throughout art history.

This bundle contains ALL 50 artist PowerPoints featured in my store! Teach about an "Artist of the Week" every week for the whole school year, or a different "Artist of the Month" every month for 4 school years, or whatever structure works best for you and your students. These PowerPoints are a great way to introduce an artist that relates to the art concepts you are covering in class.

These artist PowerPoints include a short student-friendly biography of the artist and several slides of their artwork. In most of the PowerPoints, the artwork is presented in chronological order with the title and date of the work. Each PowerPoint is a little different, custom created to best teach about that specific artist. Please see the individual artist PPT page for details regarding that specific PowerPoint.

Each PowerPoint contains anywhere from 18 to 48 slides, due to the varying levels of complexity in the bodies of artwork and the varying amounts of artwork available to view for each artist. All PowerPoints are generally suitable for a 30-45 minute class period, depending on how much discussion takes place about the individual works.

PLUS this bundle also contains:

• A note taking sheet to accompany any of these artist PowerPoints. Students can write facts and draw a picture to help them remember each artist. This can be used as a single worksheet, or to create booklets of all the artists students learn about! This resource includes versions suitable for both older students and younger students.
• An Artist Reference Guide. This convenient guide lists all 50 artists, the years they lived, their nationality, art style, and medium. It has a space for you to make note of which artists you are teaching to which classes.

These PowerPoints were created for grades K-8. See the "50 Artists throughout Art History - MS/HS 5-12 Art Appreciation Curriculum" bundle for the same artists, but geared towards older students (*Do NOT purchase both bundles, as they contain essentially the same materials*). Middle School teachers unsure of whether you should get this bundle or the 5-12 bundle? Downloading some of my FREE PowerPoints for comparison may help you decide. More than half of the PowerPoints are identical in both bundles, so you really can't go wrong either way.
