Instructional Ideas

• Use in an art history lesson, or in a unit about different art techniques
• Extend the activity with a research assignment on one of the featured artists
• Choose different ways to use the resource based on suggestions on the first few pages

Classroom Considerations

• You will need to print pages in color for best results in recreating the paintings
