One way to start or finish your lesson is to discuss artist quotes. Quotes can be a great way to spark a discussion not only about the artist and their time, but also how your students feel about their own art making process.
Artist quotes can also be a good way to introduce using descriptive language in an English class, or as an introduction to a specific time period in a Social Studies class.
See if you can match the quote to the artist.

Edvard Munch Pablo Picasso Georgia O'Keeffe Jackson Pollock Paul Gauguin Emily Carr Edgar Degas Henri Matisse | "I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way--things I had no words for" "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things" "The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through" "Creativity takes courage" "I sat staring, staring, staring - half lost, learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect" "I shut my eyes in order to see" "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary" "I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted ... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked" |
