This week's focus of organization seems to be art.  After years of using the Artist Schedule from Ambleside Online it is time for me to branch out. This coincides nicely with our studying Canadian History this year.

We've decided to study the Canadian Artists, Emily Carr, Robert Bateman, and William Kurelek. We will need one more artist for term 4 but I have time to figure that out later. (maybe)

A trip to our local used book store has turned up one Kurelek book, one Bateman book and one other on Canadian art in general.

Another trip to the local library has turned up a treasure trove of art books. All art books have an 'Art' sticker on the spine and, to make it even easier for me to find the right books, all books on Canadian art have a maple leaf sticker too. :o)

Yet another good source for art prints and biographies is the web. A few good websites that have turned up are: Artists in Canada dot com , Artcyclopedia ,  Well Known People Who Happen to be Canadian , The National Gallery of Canada's Cybermuse site, The Virtual Museum of Canada , and this handy-dandy guide to Researching a Canadian Artist from teacher G. Kennedy.

In past years we have colour photocopied a bunch of art from one artist for one term and hung these in the dining room. Very low key. This year I plan to delve into proper CM picture study!
