April – Andrew Wyeth

Are you ready to study a realistic painter again? After the abstract shapes of Matisse and the surreal qualities of Kahlo’s work, this artist is going to be a big change.
Andrew Wyeth comes from a long line of famous artists, and his work is easy to find. Take some time this week to study the painting below. There is a story that goes along with this painting, and I’ll share it with you on Tuesday. See if your family can make up their own stories. You might even be right!
