Meet Cecilia Beaux

Art is everywhere. Whether you are sitting in a library or walking around the city, you will find examples of art all over. But how do you know when something is art? How is one piece different from the next? The best person to ask is an artist! In Meet Cecilia Beaux, an expert portraitist will explain how to catch personality on paper. What objects does she include? How does she pose the people in her paintings? Study her paintings to find the answers. Then, draw a self-portrait and modernize one of her paintings.

Meet the Artist pairs gorgeous art with first-person narration and astonishing close-ups to spark a lifelong journey of art appreciation. As each artist walks you through their art, you’ll learn how to think like an artist and capture beauty on paper. The creative activity prompts equip you to follow in their footsteps.
