13+ Famous Artists Inspired Art Projects for Kids!

Famous artist-inspired art projects are one of my favorite ways to teach and learn art techniques and art history!



These art projects are even more exciting because they can be done with preschoolers and elementary-aged kids.  I even want to do them all!

They would make an awesome unit or even an Art Camp during the summer or after school!

Anyway, here are...
