Let’s head West—way out West.
This month, Meet the Masters brings you Frederic Remington.
Born in 1861, Remington didn’t just paint the Wild West.
He lived it. Rode it. Wrote about it. Captured its grit in motion. And his work isn’t polite. It’s bold. Rugged. Dynamic. Bronzes buck. Cowboys gallop. You can feel the dust rise.
He’s one of our 35 masters for a reason.
Students don’t just admire Remington—they experience him.
Here’s what they learn:
- How to shape dramatic compositions that explode off the page
- How to color and shade to mimic bronze like Remington
- How American history and storytelling shape visual art
No flat still-lifes here. This is art that moves.
What’s beautiful about Remington is that he bridges so many skills. He blends history, character, and storytelling with technique.
That makes him perfect for:
- Social studies crossover projects
- Sculpture or mixed media units
- Lessons on drawing and dynamic lines
- Inspiring reluctant students who think art is “boring”
And don’t worry—we’ve made it easy to integrate.
Whether you teach Pre-K or 8th grade…
Whether you have all 35 masters or just a few…
Whether you’re a classroom teacher, art specialist, or enrichment sub…
Remington works.
- The guided script walks you through the history
- The art project breaks down the process
- The bonus video brings the frontier alive
You don’t need special supplies either. Just chalk. Colored paper. And students ready to create.
Want to see what Remington-inspired students can do? You’ll be blown away by their sketches and landscapes.

Let’s ride!
Creatively yours,
