Coloring And Learn: Free Famous Artist Coloring Pages

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Today, I’m sharing free famous artist coloring pages for coloring and learn art. Also, look at my page Free Art Units for more ideas.

You can use these pages in many ways, but first I’m sharing some reasons why coloring can be considered art.

When children are coloring they are doing more than coloring in the lines. They can see the artist and coordinate the background color to match the famous artist’s style.

Coloring And Learn: Free Famous Artist Coloring Pages

Too, we’ve not always lived near art museums. So, coloring pictures of either famous art or artists children get exposed to art early.

It’s a subtle way to teach kids about creativity too,

And when children choose colors they become an active participant of art.

Besides helping with fine motor skills, children are paying attention to detail. And the pages can be used to pair with any unit study.

For example, you can ask where the artist is from, what time period did he or she live in, and what influenced their style.

    Facts About Japan | How To Make Kids Easy Origami Fish

    Today we’re making kids easy origami fish. Also, look at more fun ideas on my page Medieval Japan Unit Study and Lapbook 1185 – 1600 A.D.

    Origami is the art of folding paper. It’s about using your creativity, imagination, and hands.

    And with the most minimal of supplies, you can craft and create fun objects like frogs, boats, flowers, cranes and even jumping frogs.

    It’s not clear of the exact origins of origami but it has a long history.

    The Chinese invented paper but origami can be traced back to ancient Japan.

    Facts About Japan | How To Make Kids Easy Origami Fish

    For instance, it’s thought during the Edo period people of all ages enjoyed the art of paper folding.

    Eventually paper became more affordable and was available to everyone.

    Further, the Japanese word “origami” comes from two words: “ori” meaning fold, and “kami” meaning paper.

    So origami became much more than a hobby, it’s part of Japanese culture.

    The Crane Girl

    In this magical retelling of a Japanese folktale, a mysterious girl weaves silk to help repay the kindness of a boy and his father until the father's greed finally exposes her secret.

    While gathering firewood, Yasuhiro comes upon an injured crane hidden in the snow. He rescues and comforts the bird, then watches as it flies away over the wintry hills.

    The next night, a mysterious young girl arrives at Yasuhiro's home seeking shelter from the cold. The boy and his father welcome the girl, named Hiroko, to stay with them. When Hiroko notices that Yasuhiro's father is struggling to earn money, she offers to weave silk for him to sell. After the fabric fetches a good price, the boy's father becomes impatient for more silk, and his greed has a life-changing effect on them all.

    Lyrical storytelling deftly interwoven with original haiku create a magical adaptation of a popular Japanese folktale--an inspirational story of friendship and the power of kindness to transform lives.
