© Nadene of http://practicalpages.wordpress.com 04/2010 11 I have started almost each art movement on a new page so that you can study the art movement in detail, display just that page for your timeline. You can cut and paste all the pages end to end to display this as a continual timeline if you wish. There are several artists whose lives and different art movements overlap. They could be placed side-by-side on the time line.

Create a time line on your wall or an a chart or make a Book of Centuries o cut & paste the artists and their works on the appropriate date o Use highlighters to highlight entire art eras o You could use this time line as a card game and cut up the artists and paste the dates of their life on the back of their card. Then children could try matching the artist to the art movement.
