Contemporary+Artists

This list is a collection of artists from the early/mid 1900’s till the present. Often we focus on “ The Masters”, and miss the rich work of contemporary artists. Infusing lessons with a mixture of past & present will provide your students with a fuller picture of the art world.

If you know of artist that will benefit your unit development, please use them! (and pass them along!!!) v  The list is broken up into Enduring Themes. Many artists cross over Enduring Themes. You may find some artists that you feel would work for your lesson, but that might not be listed under the Enduring Theme you are working with. By all means, use the artist(s) that will develop the best unit! v  The addresses provided were active at the time this document was written, and most can be accessed from school computers. Some research will need to be done outside of school(or at least not on school computers) to access some web sites. v  The artists without a provided address can be found, but the information is in bits & pieces. They are worth your time to research! v  Artist should be reviewed & appropriate art work should be selected that have great work that will enhance your Enduring Theme unit, however their larger body of work may contain inappropriate material for the elementary level.
