Disclaimer: ALL images in this book are NOT the work of the famous artists we have mentioned. These are emulations by art teachers with a geography theme. This is a common project in art classes around the world–to create an image in the style of a famous artist. We gather our work collectively here in the hopes to educate people about the rich traditions of art history, and hopefully to inspire our readers to learn more about these amazing artists as we attempt to honor them here!
The web addresses for some foundations that represent the original artists have been added to the index in the back of this book.

This book was written and illustrated by art teachers from all over the world who share a passion for art history and education. The author was awarded NJ's Best High School Art Teacher in 2015 by the AENJ. This is the fourth in the "If Picasso" series by the author, preceded by If Picasso Had a Christmas Tree, If Picasso Went to the Zoo, and If Picasso Went to the Sea. Each teacher has emulated an artist of his/her choosing from history and a famous global landmark in a way that honors the work of that artist. By combining art, history, geography, poetry, and language, this book becomes a unique resource for art lovers of all ages. Art genres from the Renaissance era to modern works are represented. Our art teachers, from elementary level to high school, created these delightful illustrations to share and educate. The contact information for every artist and the author is in the back of this book should you wish to contact them for more information or to even purchase a print. Mr. Gibbons created the poems for each artwork. In a classroom setting, we suggest that our images be paired with known masterworks by these artists. Obtaining rights to do so here would be impossible and double the length of this book. Our intention is that readers are so inspired by the works we present, that they explore further by seeing original artworks or examples, and the landmarks we present here. To help in this we have uploaded free multi-curricula lesson extensions you can print and share with students of all ages. These lesson extensions are found at: artedguru.com/ifpicasso.html Studies show that students who pair their learning with art succeed at much higher rates than their non-art involved peers by a significant margin. For Example, they score, on average, 100 points higher on S.A.T. exams. This is but one example. Find out more at the author's blog: artedguru.com/advocate.html
