"ARTIST OF THE WEEK" contains information, images, and photos for a special artist or art topic each week, for TWO school years. However, we are in the process of adding a third year this school year. We hope you will find this a valuable tool as you digitally take students to see and learn about the many forms art may take and about famous artists who mastered those forms!
Third Year The 3rd year has a different art focus each nine weeks.
