In my Art History 2022-2023 blog post, I decided March would be Helen Frankenthaler. Here are some resources and my planning notes:

MMA - Helen Frankenthaler blog post

I decided to join Lotus Stewart's full Art History Kids website (The Studio) and get access to her past lesson plans. I think it will really help me this year to have so much already done for me. Helen Frankenthaler is in the Archives.

Lotus is also doing Women of Abstract Expressionism in The Studio this month! I don't know if Helen Frankenthaler will be included this time or not.

UPDATE: The revised lesson plans for this topic include Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner, but they substitute Alma Thomas for Judith Godwin.
