Let’s go step by step to fill in the missing boxes for each artist. We’ll use the information from each paragraph and match it to the correct year or age on the timeline.
---
1. Rembrandt
Paragraph says:
- Born in
1606 → already filled: “Rembrandt was born.”
- By
1620, he knew he wanted to be a painter (when he was at college).
- By
1625, he had opened his own art studio.
So, for 1620 box:
→ “He knew he wanted to be a painter.”
(Or you can say: “He decided to become a painter while in college.”)
For 1625 box:
→ “He opened his own art studio.”

2. Pablo Picasso
Paragraph says:
- At
age 7: His father started training him.
- At
age 13: He was so good that his father quit painting.
- At
age 16: He went to art school.
So, fill in:
Age 7 box:
→ “His father started training him in art.”
Age 13 box:
→ “He was so talented that his father stopped painting.”
Age 16 box:
→ “He went to art school.”

3. Andy Warhol
Paragraph says:
- In
1962: He painted the soup can (or maybe a friend did — but we’ll go with what’s written as his work).
- In
1973: He painted Mao Zedong.
- In
1984: He painted Prince for the movie *Purple Rain*.
The timeline shows 1962 first, then two blank lines after — so we assume the next two are 1973 and 1984.
So:
1962 box:
→ “Painted the famous soup can artwork.”
Next box (1973):
→ “Painted a portrait of Chinese leader Mao Zedong.”
Last box (1984):
→ “Painted a picture of Prince for the movie Purple Rain.”
