Today’s printable is a History Through Art activity!

Use the discussion steps provided to observe the details of the painting and draw out the story the artist is telling.

Then give the painting* your own title (try not to look at the artist’s title first!).

Complete the form below to go to the download page. You can also visit our Youtube channel to see some History Through Art mini-lessons!

*The painting in today’s activity is “Merry Christmas, Grandma!” by Norman Rockwell, 1949. For best results, don’t tell your students the official title until you have completed the activity. This allows your students to connect with the image through the details of the painting, without any ‘spoilers’.
