Artist Study

This year I hope to add more art studies into our homeschool day.  I feel art is really important, but unfortunately it is something I do not know much about.  This will definitely be a learning experience for me.  I plan on doing individual Artist Studies, but for now, I’m just giving some overall general information about studying art that I have found.  I hope someone can use it.

Yahoo User Group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/artiststudyCM/  - Jimmie just started this user group and it looks like it’s going to be really good.  I just joined it yesterday. 

Some activities I read about:

1.       Make a scrapbook.  (This one sounds really cool!)

2.       Use 2 of each painting to play concentration.

3.       Make concentration a little harder by matching the painter with the painting or two different paintings by the same painter.

4.       Make a puzzle out of a artist print.

Oh this sounds neat ! I want to check it out but I have sooooooooooooo much to research right now. Could you share about those activities some more. Like the scrapbook would be great to hear about more.

Thanks for being such a great resource lady. ((hugs))

God Bless in Him<><

I'm not real good with keeping art in our schedule either, it's usually one of the first things dropped. But each year I try to change that. We'll see how it goes this year. ;)
