Famous Works of Art to Print and Color

From Shelley Esaak, About.com


On each of the following pages you will find an image of one famous work of art to open, save and print for coloring, as well accompanying information on its artist, date of execution, original media and dimensions, current holding institution and a bit of background.

Sounds like a lot to digest, doesn't it? Well, it's not. It's what you make of it, or allow others to make of it. Skip the historic information if it's not fully age-appropriate. All I'd beg you to remember is that these are meant to be enjoyable, hands-on learning tools, not the sorts of things we used to subject to class critiques in art school. Whether you print these out for yourself, your children or your students, keep in mind that history's greatest artists found their own paths, and let freedom of expression run its unique course.

Have fun (and please do read the copyright info).
