About this resource
Description
Art is more fun when children know the people behind the pictures. These famous painters flash cards introduce Kindergarten through 5th Grade students to twelve great artists, from Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet to Katsushika Hokusai and John James Audubon. Each card helps children notice what makes one painter’s work look different from another’s, so they begin to talk about color, brushstrokes, light and subject like real art lovers.
Each of the famous painters flash cards folds over. The front shows a brand-new painting made in that artist’s style, such as sunflowers with thick, swirly paint or a park made of tiny dots. Children look closely, say what they see, and guess the painter. Then they open the card to check the painter’s name and read a short fact about what he liked to paint. A 2nd Grade practice page asks students to read each painter’s name and circle the matching painting.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page with simple steps and extension ideas
- 12 fold-over painter cards on 4 sheets: painting on the front, name and fact inside
- A practice worksheet: read the painter’s name and circle the painting
- An answer key with the full card list and the practice answers
Why These Flash Cards Help Kids
First, looking carefully at a painting builds observation and vocabulary, because children must name colors, shapes and details. Second, matching a style to a painter teaches children that every artist has a way of working, which is the start of art history. Third, the short facts give older students a quick reading task, so the same set works across many grades and skill levels.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use these famous artists flash cards in an art center, during a Specials lesson, or at home before a museum visit. Show one card a day as an art warm-up, sort the cards into paintings of water and paintings of other things, or invite each child to pick a favorite and make a picture in that painter’s style. Older students can research one painter and share three new facts with the class.
