Norman Rockwell was an American painter and illustrator. Born in 1894, he is best known for his iconic images of American life and culture, as seen through his many covers for "The Saturday Evening Post" magazine. Rockwell's works are characterized by their attention to detail, humor, and idealized depictions of everyday life. He was known for his ability to capture the heart of American society and its values in his paintings, and his works often convey a sense of hope, optimism, and humor.
Over time, Rockwell became a beloved figure in American popular culture and his works continue to be celebrated for their historical significance and beauty. Today, Rockwell's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of American art.

I have been involved with and using the Meet the Masters Art Curriculum for about 20 years. I started out as a parent volunteer at my son’s former elementary school in Orange County, and then went on to facilitate and coordinate a Meet the Masters Art program at Maranatha Christian Academy in Santa Ana. This just goes to show how successful and user friendly this art program really is!
The biggest blessing for me, is being involved with such an amazing and diverse curriculum that draws kids in to the world of art, the lives of the artist, as well as the history behind the great masters. I know that their love of learning about art is translated into the many art projects that Meet the Masters offers. The MTM staff are here to assist you in designing your schools individual programs and offer you the support to make sure that you and your program will succeed.
