"My 10-year-old daughter surprised me when she recognized a Picasso. "This was his blue period", she said. "How did you know that", I asked. Her reply was, "I learned about Picasso at Meet The Masters".
I'm thrilled our school supports this program!"

How Meet The Masters Will Work In Your School

The Meet The Masters experience begins with a multi-media (slides, artist voices, music etc.) assembly where the children learn about the fascinating lives and famous works of the Master Artists. Interactive questions and multi-media content will keep the students’ interest while walking through a virtual museum (available on Slides or CD-Rom) filled with interesting stories and facts.

 Step 2: "Learning from the Masters" Technique Packets:
Now that the children have a true connection to the artist, it is time to introduce the techniques which made the art revolutionary. Back in the classroom they will work on a mostly self-guided follow-up packet which will be the pencil-on-paper means for your student to “Learn from the Masters”.

After learning the inspiration and techniques of each Master the children are ready for the real fun. Your classoom will transform into an art studio as the well-equipped teacher leads the protégés on a step-by-step journey through the art project. Often in the same medium as the Master, the students will discover their creativity while developing confidence in their own unique abilities.
