  1. Norman Rockwell By: Jessie

  2. Norman Rockwell’s Style of Art • Norman Rockwell was an oil painter and a children’s books illustrator. He mostly worked on pictures including people. I did “Man on the Moon” as the piece of artwork for Norman Rockwell. On this painting he used oil paints when I used colored pencils. I will be describing a different more famous picture, “Freedom form Want”. It was part of the four freedoms, want, speech, worship, and fear. “Freedom from Want” is showing a family getting ready for a Thanksgiving feast in pastel paints.
