Abstract
The purpose of this Honors Research Project was to provide an extensive resource for art educators who wish to incorporate meaningful experiential learning opportunities by bringing visiting artists into their classrooms. The first section is a brief literature review detailing the benefits of incorporating experiential learning and visiting artists in the classroom. Following the literature review are three appendices provided as resources for teachers to utilize. The first appendix pertains to Ohio-based illustrators being used as visiting artists in schools and includes a list of ten illustrators with respective profiles for each. The second appendix contains a bibliography of the artist profiles for teachers to find research and additional information on the illustrators. The final appendix is a 24-week sample course of instruction split into six units with projects and vocab based on the specific illustrators for educators to incorporate into classrooms as a project-based visiting artist experience.
