The Art Muses is an affordable, standards-based art enrichment program for educators, with or without formal art training, who want to enhance and expand art education in a classroom setting. It is an outstanding resource for introducing children to various well-known artists, their style and time period in art history. Lesson activities may be integrated to enhance other content areas, including history, math and social studies. Participating children learn to observe, create and make meaningful connections with the arts.

Each unit is composed of six artist-inspired activities, presented in a step-by-step format. Units include an implementation manual, biography of the featured artist, related key vocabulary list (with glossary), lesson-specific materials list and more. Projects are inspired by artists such as Paul Klee, Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt, Grant Wood, Wayne Thiebaud, Brice Marden, Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Jim Dine, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandinsky and David Hockney.

Bringing The Art Muses to your students is easy at anytime of the year! We provide you with all the tools and on-site support you need to ensure easy implementation and  the continued success of this quality enrichment program at your school. Committed to the continuous refinement and expansion of the curriculum, The Art Muses succeeds in providing a valued program of study for elementary art appreciation, with high-interest art activities that cultivate a love and appreciation for the arts in future generations.
