This year’s art study has been going well. In an attempt to be more “Charlotte Masony” with our learning, I bought five big sized books filled with reproductions (and some text) each featuring a different artist. We started with Van Gogh since there wasn’t anything in that book that I thought I’d have to edit. (I’m considering gluing pages together on some of the books, but I hate to deface them.)
We simply look at one work of art per day. Sprite studies it and orally narrates it back to me. Then one day I asked her to make her own version of a Van Gogh, copying it as closely as she could. This was the end result. Pretty good.
What are you doing for art?

Hi, I'm Jimmie, and this is my online collage -- a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but mostly homeschooling with a loosely Charlotte Mason style. You're welcome to poke around and leave a comment if you desire.
