Artist’s Yearbook (100pages)

The Artist’s Yearbook is perfect for all children. After all, every child is an artist! It is especially good for tweens and teens to work through independently. This beautiful 100 page resource is very much a template. It prompts, inspires and gently guides whilst leaving plenty of space for your artist to interpret everything in their own unique way.

Each section begins with an artist study. This will entail independent research and the recording of information to produce a profile. The artists covered in this pack are:

Albert Namatjira
Piet Mondrian
Andy Warhol
Rosa Bonheur
Banksy
Jackson pollock
Pablo Picasso
Dame Barbara Hepworth
Anthony Gormley
Georgia O’Keeffe
Katsushika Hokusai
Steven Brown

The section then moves on to invite children to look at two examples of the artist’s work. They will then need to find out about the pieces and make note of their thoughts and opinions. After looking specifically at the media and techniques used by the artist they will then choose and reproduce another piece by the artist.

At this point children are invited to create their own masterpiece ‘in the style of’ using all the information they have accumulated about the artist. Spaces intended for your artist to create a piece also have a small plaque for them to name and sign their work.

There’s then a gently guided art activity that focussing on using a particular media or using a particular technique. The activities in this pack are:
