All About Art - Artists and Their Styles

2000
This entry is designed to educate elementary age children about artists, styles of art, and various works of art. Short biographies on approximately twelve artists are included. These describe the lives of the artists, the styles in which they painted, and names some of their famous works. In addition to the artists, the site describes a number of styles of art, including characteristics of the style, and famous artists whose work was done in that style. The members of this team then created their own art work in the different styles, and provided these as examples of how that style of art looks. As a fun way to test how much site visitors have learned, two interactive games, Hangman, and an All About Art Quiz, are available to site visitors. Finally, to further encourage site visitors to explore the world of art further, the page provides links to a number of other art sites on the internet, with descriptions of what visitors can find at those sites.
