A few years ago it became a goal of mine to create Artist Baskets that would share with young children about the lives of some of the artists who have created works of art that they may be exposed to.
A few famous names came to mind right away: Van Goh, Matisse, Picasso, Jackson Pollack, and I realized that they were ALL men. Talented artists who I love and adore but still, ALL men, and there are little girls who are artists! And so I began searching out some more talented artists (who happened to be female) to balance my collection. Easier said than done...
So, to share with you, should you want to enrich your classrooms or homes with Artist Baskets of your own, these are the female artists I added to my list:
- Mary Cassatt
- Georgia O'Keeffe
- Grandma Moses
- Frida Kahlo
- Beatrix Potter
Here is a sample of one of my artist story baskets.
