Women's History Month Art Activity, Shade by Number Portraits, Female Artists

I hand drew every portrait in this set. Students match numbered shapes to numbered values while learning about five women artists. Each portrait takes 30 to 45 minutes, so it works as a sub plan, an early finisher or a quick value lesson.

Featured: Mary Cassatt, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Shirin Neshat and Betye Saar
