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).

    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*

    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!

    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.
