Meet a Masters - Overview

If Picasso Painted a Snowman by Amy Newbold (illustrated by Greg Newbold) is a children's book that reimagines a snowman in the styles of 17 famous artists, from Picasso and Van Gogh to Pollock and O'Keeffe.  The book starts with a traditional snowman and then shows how various artists would have painted it.

Join teacher Val Whaley to learn about some of the 17 famous artists in the book.  Students will use their own creativity to draw a sketch of a snowman. Then, after learning how some "master artists" would have changed a picture, they will transform their piece to reflect the "style" of one of the MASTER ARTISTS they learned about.  Using a variety of art supplies they will complete a picture showing a snowman, or two, in the style(s) of MASTER ARTISTS. 

Be sure to wear play clothing, it could get messy.
