At 11 am, Silly Sarah headed off to Art class. Being fairly good at art, she was excited to see what they were going to do this year. Just seconds after she found her seat, the teacher passed out worksheets. On the top of the worksheets, in bold letters, were the words "Famous Artists of the Past". The teacher explained that before they could start doing any artwork, the students must complete the teasers found on the worksheet. Can you help Silly Sarah, and figure out the teasers?
