Ready to learn more about Rembrandt? Here are a few activities, originally posted on LibertyHillHouse.com, to get you started:
Read:
- We really enjoyed reading Hana in the Time of the Tulips* by Deborah Noyes. I believe it is out of print now, but check your local library to see if they have a copy available.
- Rembrandt and the Boy who Drew Dogs* by Molly Blaisdel was also fun.
- Rembrandt* by Xavier Niz, while not as entertaining, was very informative.
Online Activities:
- Want to see more of Rembrandt’s work? There is a fantastic listing of Biblical artwork by Rembrandt available at ArtBible.info Take a look! How many stories can you recognize?
- See Rembrandt age through his own self portraits in this short video.
Create:
- Color an image of Rembrandt (okay, so the cartoon version of Rembrandt) in his studio at Getting to Know.com. Their videos are fantastic by the way, I highly suggest you take a look.
