Our current artist study is Norman Rockwell. Out of the artists we studied this year, he is the boys' favorite (and mine!). Below are a list of books we are utilized:
1. 102 Favorite Paintings by Norman Rockwell with introduction by Christopher Finch-my favorite resource-the paintings are large and give us the opportunity to study them and discuss the story. *Highly recommend. I own this book ($10 from an used book store!).
2. Norman Rockwell Storyteller with a Brush by Beverly Gherman-a mixture of photographs of Norman and his life and his paintings. The text would be suitable for upper elementary-junior high.
-Borrowed from the library.
3. Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists-Norman Rockwell by Mike Venezia-I read this aloud to the boys for a quick overview of Norman's life. Contains a lot of his paintings.
-Borrowed from the library.
4. Who Was Norman Rockwell? Sarah Fabiny A chapter book for elementary
-Borrowed from the library.
5. My Adventures as an Illustrator by Norman Rockwell An autobiogprahy Contains some photos. I did not read it but am hoping to someday. The writing looks like junior high and older could read it without difficulties.
-Borrowed from the library.
6. Willie was Different A Children's Story by Norman Rockwell
About a wood thrush who doesn't quite fit in with his family and makes his own way in unique fashion
-Borrowed from the library.
