Jeryl,
Have you looked at the artists who portray the Olympics? One
especially comes to mind,I just can't remember his name, maybe Neiman? His
work is very colorful and almost impressionistic. If I can't figure out his
name I'm sure others on the list will!

Hi,
We've been out of school for a week here in SC and I finally finished
my NBPTS and sent in my box! Yeah! Now I'm thinking about next year
because I need to turn in my supply order. Our school has a theme each
year and I try to plan around it. Last year was "We're on a Learning
Safari" and my featured artist was Rousseau. We did some great jungle
things. Anyway next year will be something with sports and while I have
several art projects in mind already, my mind is blank as to what
artists I could use. I also have a table artist for each of my 8 tables
in the room and I label the supply basket and hang a sign above the
table. I change the artists each year. When I call a table to line up I
call them by the artist. For instance, "Mondrian's table can line up" I
know when the year is over they will at least be familiar with some new
artists' names. So I thought I would use Degas this year (all those
ballerinas!) as one of the table artists but that is the only one I
think of. Maybe Rockwell because he did so many action things with
people? Thanks for any ideas!
Jeryl
