Artists 3-Part Reading

Now you can see up close and personal the artists who have made some of the most famous pieces of art in the world. These cards feature self-portraits, portraits, or photographs of the artists who created the art in our Fine Art Cards series. Yes! 

Use the photo-only cards for 3-period vocabulary lessons. When children are stretching past reading phonetic words, use all 3-parts for independent reading activities.

We recommend introducing the artwork made by these artists with our Fine Art Display Cards. Use those larger format cards to explore the details of each piece of art and learn about the year it was made, the artist, and the art's style.

Then, move on to our Fine Art Matching cards. These allow children to work with the artwork they love in a new way.

When the children begin to write, inspire them to write about their favorite piece of art using the movable alphabet, chalkboards, or pencil/paper (whatever is appropriate for that child).

Once the children are reading non-phonetic words, introduce the 3-Part Fine Art Cards. Then, move to these 3-Part Artist Cards where they match the names of the artists with their image.

Finally, after the children succeed with the 3-Part Fine Art cards, introduce the Fine Art 4-Part Cards where they match the artwork, its name, and its artists. This is an activity that truly grows with your children!
