Rembrandt's Birthday...



I haven't been feeling well the past few days, and I missed posting about the Dutch painter (and etcher) Rembrandt's birthday, which was on July 15, 1606 - 403 years ago! His paintings are housed in museums all over the world. I gathered some links for a sort of web lesson on Rembrandt, and here they are:

Here is a short biography at Finding Dulcinea.

The web site History of Holland has a more thorough biography suitable for older children.

The web site Kids Konnect has quite a few pages with wonderful pictures of some of Rembrandt's art.

Here is a notebooking page from Learning Treasures for kids to use for writing a report on Rembrandt.

Trying 2 Walk Wisely has instructions for an art/art history lap book, complete with helpful links.

Homeschool in the Woods has an activity pack that introduces 33 artists - including Rembrandt - all at a very reasonable price, if you happen to be creatively challenged (like me!).
