    Thank you for suggesting art calendars. Sometimes things are so simple and obvious; yet it takes someone else to put you in the right direction!

    Well assembled lens, very informative. This lens blessed by a Squid Angel.

    Thanks! We are new to artist studies. However, we've found a couple of books at the library - Isms: Understanding Art (better for older students, IMO) and Name That Style: Understanding Isms in Art (better for younger students, IMO) that are great for presenting a general overview of the various artistic styles.

    I loved using her method of study while I was homeschooling my children. They enjoyed it too, because is was a "no Pressure" approach.

    Another wonderful lens, no surprise there. Your resources and presentation are a delight. This is my first year exploring Charlotte Mason in our homeschool. I look forward to it and will be visiting this lens again for some added inspiration! Thank you Jimmie!

    Hi there, I won't put it all into words, however this may have spared my son and I reaching a place we couldn't resolve the stress of failed courses that did not suit our needs.Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts.P.S. Looking forward to the grades 9 to 12 programs and exams to come! Sincerely, C. Tarling from Canada

    I can see some value in what you are saying about the study of art, but I also feel it is extremely limiting to the imaginative value of a non prescribed method of seeing art. Let a child interpret as he or she will, let them acquire imagination and inspiration from all the beautiful art in the world. We don't all need to see things the same way, as an individuals interpretation and expression is the variety and spice of life.

    Thanks again Jimmie for a great lens on Picture Study! I was also surprised to see my name up there :-) I am hoping to begin studying medieval/renaissance artists soon to go with our Story of the World Volume 2 (The Middle Ages).

    Another wonderful resource! Welcome to The Homeschooling Group - you're a featured lens!

    I love that you point out the difference between criticizing your daughter's work and learning how to see critically. I wish I'd had you as my drawing teacher in college. :) 5*

    Great job. I've heard about Charlotte Mason through home school catalogs.

    Great lens, good info - although I prefer to enjoy pieces of art to studying them... :)

    hi. does nay one know the best place to get inexpensive reproduction of famous art paintings to display? maye size 5x7 would be good
  • LeftHandMan Apr 13, 2009 @ 9:09 pm | delete
    Very insightful thing you are doing, and I like your approach. So many times when children recognize realism they take it as the gold standard. They abandon their art because they feel they can't measure up. It is good that you are helping her through this by helping to developing the confidence of personal expression. I look forward to seeing what the future holds.

    Stopping by for art class. Your daughter's artwork is very good. I have a lens on my daughter's artwork also called Creative Artists. Although I do not home school. You seem to be a wonderful teacher.
    5* for this lens and as a mother!

    Thank you so much for this information! i was homeschooled and attended a charlotte mason school, now, at university, i'm assisting a friend who is starting an art program for the kids from the "projects" in waco - a group of people highly underexposed to beauty. Many of these resources will be so helpful!
  • Bev Jul 5, 2008 @ 11:11 am | delete
    Thanks for putting this up Jimmie. I had been thinking about starting to teach art and your page helped me feel like I could do this. Thanks for showing me it can be done simply.

    Sincerely, thanks yet again Jimmie! You are so generous to share all your hard work.
    Your skill in compiling these pages astounds me.

    Excellent and another wonderful addition to the BIG LENSES Group!

    Nice lens you got. It provides learning information for people who cannot go on their way learning arts in a classroom. This online way of learning is really a wonderful element in our world's new era. You can check out my article in Online Studies which tackles why online learning is a very convenient way of learning without going inside a four cornered classroom.

    Thanks for the wonderful resources! I printed the "Looking at a Work of Art" questions. I have been looking for a list like this for years!
