SkiMom Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is the art appreciation included in Artistic Pursuits enough, or would you add another resource, such as The Annotated Mona Lisa? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia in CA Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 the art prints are included in the book and points to draw you into the art ... no other resource needed, except lots of art supplies. Great program! Sylvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I would add A. Mona Lisa if you'd like your student to read about art history in chronological order. It's an easy read and very interesting, and you might take a look at The Annotated Arch if your student has interest in architecture. And if you *really* want to go deep into art appreciation/art history, try The Story of Art, by E.H. Gombrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvia in CA Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 http://harmonyfinearts.com/section/rhetoric/ this lesson plan is art appreciation for each year and includes Artistic Pursuits as the application part of Art Instruction.

Anna Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I would add A. Mona Lisa if you'd like your student to read about art history in chronological order. It's an easy read and very interesting, and you might take a look at The Annotated Arch if your student has interest in architecture. And if you *really* want to go deep into art appreciation/art history, try The Story of Art, by E.H. Gombrich I second this advice. Have them go through The Annotated Mona Lisa at the very least to give them a better sense of Art History chronology than what is offered in Artist Pursuits. The other two suggested books are great for a more detailed study. Just an FYI- If you desire to use Gombrich's The Story of Art as an in depth Art History study... and I don't know if they still sell it or not but... Oak Meadow used to sell an excellent companion book entitled: The Study of Art Syllabus. If you want to offer entertaining Art History resources, then I would suggest you look at one or both of the following: Sister Wendy Beckett The Story of Painting The Teaching Company, Professor Richard Brettell Museum Masterpieces: The Metropolitan Museum of Art (DVD) Fwiw- I'm no Art History expert but my oldest dd, who is graduating in May with a Poli-Sci degree, almost minored in Art History. All of the above mentioned resources were and still are her favorites. EDITED TO ADD: Does anyone know if Sr. Wendy's video series is available on DVD? We have the videos and love them but would like to have it in DVD format. Edited February 9, 2011 by Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
