Yesterday Kelly and I went to see the Norman Rockwell exhibit at Crystal Bridges. I LOVED IT! Norman Rockwell is my favorite artist. I love realistic art that tells a story. I learned so many things about him that I did not know. I would love to look at those pictures even if they were a photograph, but to think that they are paintings is just amazing! Be paid attention to the details. As an elementary art teacher, I bought a VHS Norman Rockwell documentary for my students to watch. Our music teacher laughed and laughed and told me that the kids would be so bored and they would not pay any attention. I thought , "they will love it, Norman Rockwell is the best!" Ha! The music teacher was so right. It was a teacher disaster. The kids watched for about two minutes and they were DONE! I was new to teaching and learned my lesson. I have loved Rockwell since I was a little girl...
