Mary Cassatt was an American artist who lived much of her life in France and became an important member of the Impressionist movement. Born in 1844, she was one of the few female artists to participate in the Impressionist exhibitions, and her works often focused on the intimate relationships between mothers and children.
Cassatt was known for her use of color and loose brushwork, as well as her sensitivity to the emotional experiences of women. She was also a prominent advocate for women's rights and used her artwork to challenge traditional gender roles. Her work has had a lasting impact on both American and European art and continues to be celebrated for its tender and insightful depictions of the lives of women and children.

I wanted to tell you how wonderful the program is going here at our school. The children are very engaged and enthusiastic at the start of every artist. We are continually learning and developing new art skills. The knowledge that the children are obtaining about different time periods and different styles of art is amazing. The program is super easy to follow and the cost of materials for the projects has been minimal, which is great for a school on a tight budget. I just wanted to say thank you for offering such an educational, user friendly, and economically sound program to the schools of this nation.
Thank You!
