Guides to Great Artists Lesson Plan
Students will research a famous artist and author a pamphlet about their artist using a template created with Microsoft Word. Students will also create a piece of artwork in the style of their artist which will be included in their pamphlet and in a class-wide electronic art gallery where everyone's finished artwork will be displayed.
