New! Artist Birthdays Calendar
Kids love to celebrate birthdays, so what better time to introduce a new artist than on that artist’s birthday? I’ve created a new page on my site to help you plan your artist birthday celebrations! Just click on the “Artist Birthdays” link on my menu bar for a list of birthdays by month, complete with links to lesson plans and wikipedia pages for more helpful info. (Artists pictured… top row, L to R: Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso; bottom row, L to R: Frida Kahlo, Leonardo DaVinci, M.C. Escher)
Thanks for the list! :)
What a terrific Artist Birthday page. This took you a tremendous amount of time to compile, I am certain. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Kim @ Art on my hands
Just added him, Nita! Thanks for suggesting that… I love Blue Dog!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for all of us!
Giotto
Thanks for your suggestion, Christy. Giotto is one of those artists whose exact date of birth is unknown. I’m trying to decide how to handle those. Maybe a listing at the top for artists with unknown birth dates? What do you think?
I decided to add the artists whose exact dates of birth are unknown at the end of the list, bottom of the page.
Terrific calendar! I’m adding it to my Pinterest site to share! Have you thought about frank Marc, friedensreich hundertwasser and Mary cassat? sorry don’t have details…
Regards Julie
Thanks, Julie! Great ideas… I’m adding new artists all the time, so I’ll get right on that. Thanks for your suggestions!
Great calendar! Awesome resource to come back to! Thank you.
Kids love to celebrate birthdays… good method to introduce one artist during their birthdays. Its like two in one method.. learning while doing the art. :-)

Thanks, Christine! I updated the page to include him. Chuck Close is one of my favorites… how did I overlook him??! Thanks so much for suggesting that and sending the link, too!
Who are the 6 artists in the picture. I think I know 3 of them, but am sketchy on the rest.
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks for the great question, Mark! I just added their names to the paragraph below the picture. Thanks again for asking!
