Sneak in MORE Art History with a Mystery Artist Board!

Alecia Eggers Kaczmarek | October 17, 2014

Are you looking for a fun way to increase your students’ art history knowledge? Try a mystery artist board! In my classroom, students engage in friendly competition to research and make guesses about a new mystery artist each month. Prizes can be simple such as fancy pencils or extra art time for the winner and a friend. Another great thing about the mystery artist board is that it works for a variety of age levels! Watch the video to see how it’s done!
