Encyclopedia of Artists

A local library donated a 6 volume Encyclopedia of Artists to our school, and I love it! It's an excellent reading level for my middle school students. Each artist entry is presented as a two page spread, so it's a perfect backdrop to my Art History display of books about the artist of the month.

The one downside is that every single month, when I switch out the display to a new artist, I have to stop and look through an entire volume to see if our featured artist is included!

(The artist list inside the front cover has only the last name... and I thought there was an entry for Sonia Delaunay but it was her husband Robert.)

list of artists for 2022-2023

I'm finalizing my lesson plans for October's study of Marc Chagall, and I decided this was the last time I'd spend forever looking through the pages. So, to help myself out in the future, here is the complete list of artists!
