I created Art Movements Timelines
Due to the size of the files I have broken the timeline into 4 sections:
- Pre-Renaissance – 18th Century
- 19th Century to Late 19th Century
- 20th Century till Modern Art
- Modern Art Movements
This week’s Timeline is Pre-Renaissance – 18th Century

I have provided a basic definition of each art movement and included the dates and names of the founders and the most eminent artists of that movement. Each artist has a thumbnail of their work. I have placed each art movement on a new page for clarity and to assist the study of different eras.

Use the timeline in several ways:
- Print out as an Art Book of Centuries, or add to a student’s own Book of Centuries
- Cut and paste the pages end-to-end as an art timeline
- Cut out and add the artists and their art work thumbnails to a dedicated art timeline or an existing timeline
- Laminate and cut the artists as cards and let children match the artists to the eras

Thanks for sharing these resources. What a great way to look at history.
Will we be getting a time-line for ancient history?

We have used timeline figures from http://sonlight.com which you can see on my post here ~ http://wp.me/pDMSJ-b0, but I could create a simple History Timeline … sometime …
you are a blessing to me! Thank you for all the work you do.
Just want to say “THANKS!!!”
How neat! This sure is a great way of teaching art-history.
