Who Is the Artist?
Consultant: Kay Alexander
Grades 3 and up

These innovative videos are the first in a series to introduce students to the work of important artists. They learn to recognize artists by their styles and technique of painting as well as the subjects that dominate their work. After students are introduced to each artist's paintings, they are shown other paintings by the same artists and asked to identify "Who Is the Artist?" Throughout the programs, students are also asked to interact with the paintings as they are presented.
