In this article, the author discusses how to publicize the art program while integrating art history, technology, art concepts, painting, drawing, and performance opportunities into one project. She suggests that hosting a living artist exhibition might be the answer. Each year, the author and the school librarian conduct a collaborative study of impressionism with fifth-grade classes. Students select an American or French impressionist from a predetermined list, which becomes their primary focus over the next several weeks. Under the guidance of the librarian, students keep a folder of essential facts, which is used to complete a fact book about the artist. Students also love to personalize their fact book and often use printed scrapbook papers, stamping, and drawings as embellishments. A checklist of research topics created by the librarian is used to aid students in their investigation. Students are encouraged to pay particular attention to the clothing style of the period, relationships among the artists, favorite subject matter, and any fun and unusual facts about the artist or time period.
