What educators are saying

I use this resource each year with my class to teach informational text along with re-creating the Starry Night Van Gogh painting. My students love it.
My students learn so much more about an artist through these products. I've bought so many different artists and each time I'm amazed.

Description

Vincent Van Gogh Biography and Art Activities. Famous artist activities unit includes close-read biography passages, reading skills activities, vocabulary words, creative writing sheets, art appreciation responses, and drawing and coloring pages. Great addition to monthly themes like Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, etc.

This Unit is also available as Starry Night in SPANISH. Click Here.

  • Updated to include two differentiated reading comprehension assignments for use with the artist biography. Assign in Easel or download the FREE pdf file HERE!

This biography and art activities unit has all you need to get your students excited about art while reinforcing literacy skills. Tired of the same biography units year after year? Integrate art into the curriculum by using the biographies of these famous artists. Why teach reading skills in isolation when our students can learn about famous artists at the same time?

Introduce your students to the world's greatest artists. Choose a different artist each month or teach all the "Masters" as a thematic unit. Sort them by style or use them to study historical events and monthly themes.

  • NOTE: So many teachers have requested these units using different paintings! This unit is similar to the other Vincent Van Gogh Meet the Artist Unit but gives the students a different painting to work with. I will be creating many more of these units, calling them Meet the Artist Version #1, 2, 3, and 4. Stay tuned!

NO PREP allows for Print & Go or assign for remote learning.
