Ohio Artists

I am not from Ohio.  So, when I read the Ohio Visual Arts Standards (what we need to teach the kids), one of the items was to teach about an Ohio artist.  All that I could think of was quilt makers and Amish artists.  I knew that there had to be much more to Ohio than that!
I contacted fellow Ohio art teachers - a few led me to Aminah Robinson.  Then I contacted the Columbus Museum of Art.  They also let me to Aminah Robinson.  After much research, I settled on the following lessons for your youngsters!  I love when I learn as much as the kids.
