This article describes a project that introduces students in grades K-8 to new artistic styles, giving them an appreciation for an artist's work, as well as teaching them some art history. The teacher introduced this lesson to each grade by presenting examples of the artist's works either from posters or books. They discussed the distinctive features of each artist's style, when in history he or she lived and worked, the artist's nationality, and what movement he or she belonged to. Then the teacher had the students imitate the work of the specific artist about which they were learning. This brief article describes the classrooms' experiences with this lesson.
