October Famous Artist of the Month: Norman Rockwell

This month, I am featuring a much loved artist, Norman Rockwell! The students have been intrigued to learn about his career as a magazine illustrator. Even though most magazines today feature photography, not paintings, magazine design (with a graphic arts degree) is still a popular career!

Whenever art class ends a few minutes early, being able to discuss the art on my bulletin board has been a great way to use time effectively. I've also been able to knock off many state standards about looking at and understanding art with this bulletin board!



The text on my bulletin board reads as follows:

Norman Rockwell
Born: February 3, 1894
Died: November 8, 1978
Nationality: U.S.A.
Art style: Illustrations of American Culture

Norman Rockwell was born in New York City. At age 14, he transferred from high school to Chase Art School. He later attended the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League.

After completing his education, Rockwell got a job illustrating for Boys’ Life magazine, a publication of the Boy Scouts of America. For $50 a month, he had to design a cover illustration, and a set of story illustrations.


Rockwell later gained fame illustrating the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. His illustrations were whimsical interpretations of American life.
