Studying Great Artists: Baroque Through Impressionist
I’m so excited to begin the 3rd quarter of cycle 2 fine arts! This is when we get to study artists from the Baroque, Neoclassical, Romantic, Realistic, and Impressionist Periods. In my opinion, these are the best time periods! (Confused about Art History? Get help here!)
We’ve updated our lesson plans for Cycle 2:
- Drawing Facial Expressions Like Rembrandt (Dutch Baroque)
- Painting Landscapes Like Gainsborough (Late English Baroque)
- Plein-Air Painting like Monet (Impressionist)
- Capturing Action Like Degas (Impressionist)
- Creating Texture like Morisot (Impressionist)
- Creating Movement like Van Gogh (Post Impressionist)
I also hope to add a few more lesson plans about other artists from the Neoclassicism, Romantic, and Realism periods in August of 2019 (Maybe Jacques-Louis David, Thomas Cole, and Winslow Homer?)

We also have these fun extras for teaching your students about these great artists:
Be on the lookout for podcast episodes about each of these artists starting late 2019!
