Rhonda in TX Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 We are doing TOG Year 4 next year and I'd like to choose a different artist, composer, and poet to study for each unit. I know TOG covers some, but I'm not sure I want to use their selections. (Although I definitely want to study Norman Rockwell, from Unit 1) So, what are your favorites from the 20th century?

amtmcm Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I almost forgot one of my favorites - Norman Rockwell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amtmcm Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Eliana - Do you know of an artist and composer from Africa? I can find tribal style music albums for Africa, but don't know of a specific composer. Also, when I researched artists I found photographers of city scenes and I'm hoping to find a landscape and/or wild animal artist or photographer. I'd prefer someone who is from Africa (as opposed to an American or European photographing in Africa). Sorry to hijack - hopefully this will be relevant to Rhonda too. :) Thanks!
