kristamaranatha Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Can anyone tell me what you think of Charlotte Mason art? Also, what book do you use? If otherwise, what art curriculum do you use? I'm looking for recommendation for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 For appreciation we follow the Ambleside schedule. We have just finished Van Gogh, check out my blog to see what we got up to :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcmehl Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 For Art (Picture) Study: We used to follow AO and SimplyCharlotteMason.com and finding living books about artists at our local libraries, but now we use library books and this free program manual (that you can download and save), it is called Meet the Masters http://www.getinvolvedineducation.com/pdfs/For-Program-Managers/Meet-the-Masters-Program-Manual.pdf or the same program that you pay money for at: http://www.meetthemasters.com/homeschool/index.html For Art: We use the Art Basics for Children: ABCs of Art by Visual Manna, it is recommended at www.livingbookscurriculum.com in their Charlotte Mason curriculum. or another option we be to use the ideas/videos/techniques taught by Harmony Arts Mom on her blog http://harmonyartmom.blogspot.com/ or better yet the actual curriculum packets at Harmony Fine Arts. Most importantly, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettyL Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 We use the "Meet the Masters" program for art appreciation. My daughter loves it. We just add the Charlotte Mason approach, which is for her to study the paintings and gather details to explain what she thinks the artist is trying to convey with his or her work. I read, "The Charlotte Mason Companion Guide" which had a chapter describing her approach to art. We also use "Artistic Pursuits" for our art projects. This program includes art projects with some art appreciation as well. Hope you find just the right program for you! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbaby Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 We are using God and the History of Art which was included in our MFW CTG package. It spans four years so it's used with all four years of MFW's chronological history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchGirl Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) For Art (Picture) Study:We used to follow AO and SimplyCharlotteMason.com and finding living books about artists at our local libraries, but now we use library books and this free program manual (that you can download and save), it is called Meet the Masters http://www.getinvolvedineducation.com/pdfs/For-Program-Managers/Meet-the-Masters-Program-Manual.pdf or the same program that you pay money for at: http://www.meetthemasters.com/homeschool/index.html Are you sure those are the same programs? They look different to me? If you can tell me how to make the free one work like the paid one that would be awesome!! It looks to me like the free one covers more artists and does a compare/contrast of two paintings at a time. Which is fine but I think the part I am worried about is trying to figure out which mediums to use for the kids' art projects when they are studying each artist. How do you do it?
