Famous Artists Fact Files for Research Bundle

This is a bundle of 20 famous artist fact files - each containing a snapshot biography, noteworthy facts, and more! Each poster/fact file shows each artist's most famous work as well as a few facts about their art and life, a timeline and a key quote. I have used these as both stand alone posters for the classroom and as a tool for research activities. They also make great lesson starters, and work in the virtual classroom too! I would recommend they are used on students who are comfortable reading and/or enjoy a challenge.

This is a DIGITAL ZIP FILE and each fact file/poster is sized 29.7 x 21cm (A4 Landscape) in PDF and you can either print it A3 on a large poster printer, or it can be printed on regular sized copy paper on a smaller printer. These fact files are so versatile and easy to read, which is why they are perfect as classroom decor, organization, as part of a sub lesson, or a fun research activity!
