Norman Rockwell was born on February 3, 1894 in New York.  This amazing artist was born with a natural talent for drawing.  He had one sibling,  a brother named Jarvis.  This talented illustrator  was nicknamed  "Mooney" in his early years because of his glasses. His idea of becoming an artist came to him when he realized he could draw really well.  His skills gained a lot of attention and they couldn't be ignored.  Norman Rockwell, one of the most superior painters ever, attended Chase Art School during his freshmen year of high school . Norman quit high school to enroll in the Nation Academy of Design. Rockwell was so determined to become an artist, he rode subways for two hours just to take art classes !
