Hi there! My name is Roy Lichtenstein. I am an artist who helped start the genre of Pop Art. I was born in New York City in 1923. Growing up, I was interested in drawing and science and the way mechanical things worked. I lived near the American Museum of Natural History, so I spent hours exploring the exhibits of dinosaurs, plants, animals, bugs, mummies, stars and planets. I read science magazines and listened to radio programs – if you can believe it, there was no such thing as television when I was a boy – and my favorite radio…

Hello there.  My name is Andrew Wyeth. I was born in 1917 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the youngest of five children. I was raised in a family dedicated to art. My father was a famous painter and illustrator of children’s books. Perhaps you’ve read one of the books N.C. Wyeth, my father, illustrated, like The Pilgrims, Treasure Island, or Kidnapped. My brothers and sisters became artists, engineers, and musicians, and a generation later my son, Jamie, has become an important artist. I guess you could say that art runs in the family! Because of my delicate health as a child,…

Hi, folks! My name is Norman Rockwell. I was born in New York City in 1894. I grew up in a neighborhood where all the boys played sports—all the time! My older brother Jarvis was the best athlete in the neighborhood. Then there was I. I was skinny and couldn’t play sports to save my life. Thankfully, I had my own special talent. I could draw and paint really well. In fact, when I was sixteen I left high school to attend art school at the Chase Art School and eventually at the Students Art League. One of my favorite…

Hello, children, I am Georgia O’Keeffe.  I am an American modern realist painter of the Precisionist movement who is best known for my large close-up paintings of flowers… …and my paintings of the New Mexico landscape.

Though I attended school in a one-room schoolhouse, I also took art lessons in town. I learned to copy other artists’ works, which is a good way to start, but…

Hola, my name is Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruiz y Picasso, but you can call me Picasso. I am the most important artist of the 20th century. I was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881. When I was a child, my mother said to me, “If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general. If you become a monk, you’ll end up as the pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. My father, who was also a painter and art teacher,…

Good morning, children. I am Anna Mary Robertson Moses, but that is kind of a mouthful, don’t you think? So you can call me Grandma Moses. That’s what everybody calls me now, as I am almost 100 years old! I was born in 1860 in New York and I had so many adventures with my nine brothers and sisters on our farm there. That was so long ago when we could run all over the forests and hills, spent time together washing clothes,… …picking apples,… …and making apple butter,… went sledding and ice skating in the winter. My father would…
