American Artist Appreciation Month

August is American Artist Appreciation Month.  Visit an art museum.  Become an American artist, and create something beautiful.  Check out some books on American artists at the library.  Choose one that you especially like, and try to imitate that artist's style.  A great online resource with a wealth of information about American artists is Artcyclopedia.com  They have more than 2,000 American artists in their database.  www.artcyclopedia.com/nationalities/American.html
