Teaching Kids About Art
Meet Mary Cassatt
Posted by Jackie in Art History, Featured | 0 comments
My name is Mary Cassatt and I was born on May 22, 1844 near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I went to art school at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
My most famous painting is The Child’s Bath painted in 1893.
Three interesting facts about me:
1. I loved painting women and children even though I had no children of my own.
2. I was very good friends with painter Edgar Degas.
3. Although I am an American, I paint in the style of the French Impressionists.
I died June 14, 1926 near Paris, France.
Quote: “I am independent! I can live alone and I love to work.”
About our Founder
“Art ignites the flame of curiosity that lights our path through life.” – Jacqueline Cassidy
Jacqueline, an Elementary and Middle level art educator, is the founder of The Primary Kids®.
While looking for children’s art storybooks that she could integrate into her classroom lessons, Jacqueline found an absence of well-written stories with interesting characters that were not only engaging but also educational. She took her love of art and passion for education to create a product that will inspire young creative minds.
