Clouds Art Show

I am going to start regularly posting themed art shows here on my blog. You can find links to my past art shows on my sidebar. I think I will start with art shows every other week. This one's theme is clouds.

Looking at these paintings I encourage you to focus on the clouds. How did each painter see and paint clouds differently? I have put together a 7 page Clouds in Art Mini Unit Study Notebooking Page Set designed to help you and your students really get into the pieces of art. A short biography is included for each artist and some pages include easy art activites you might wish to spend some time completing after viewing the artwork. If you are interested in these pages see my post here.

Pick your favorite work to print out and hang up somewhere you will see it everyday or set it as your desktop background. If you have other favorite paintings with clouds feel free to leave links in the comments.
