Staceyshoe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Next year we'll be starting with Ancients and studying history chronologically. (I'm leaning toward using Biblioplan for this but am not 100% sure.) Is there any art appreciation or music appreciation curriculum that is open-and-go and chronological? I really love the look of Using Child-Size Masterpieces, but it doesn't appear to be chronological. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Stacey, I just went through the same thing. What I ended up doing was during SOTW chapters, I'd just switch over to you tube and pull relevant pieces that matched the geographical area. Just a short exposure. Nothing deep. I found that musical appreciation / art appreciation you really have to line them up yourself with the subject in more contemporary times. If you are going to do master painters for example, and want to line up music that goes with it, it's pretty much footwork on your part. Someone else might come along and find a better system, but that's the best I found for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynful Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Two possible options: http://www.harmonyfinearts.com/index.php Or http://www.creekedgepress.com/ Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spetzi Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We used The Usborne Book of Art. It goes through art chronologically, but a with a heavy emphasis on the impressionists. There are also good links at the Usborne website. Good bang for the buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Next year we'll be starting with Ancients and studying history chronologically. (I'm leaning toward using Biblioplan for this but am not 100% sure.) Is there any art appreciation or music appreciation curriculum that is open-and-go and chronological? I really love the look of Using Child-Size Masterpieces, but it doesn't appear to be chronological. Open and go for these subjects is a challenge, but here is what we are using that is chronological. For music, I am drawing from The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music History. Terrible title, excellent book. :D For art, I'm using A Child's History of Art, Art in Story, and will add the Picture Study Portfolios from Simply Charlotte Mason starting next year.

Staceyshoe Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thank you! I'm still undecided, but it's nice to know there are options. I'm leaning toward either Harmony Fine Arts (simple and all-inclusive are a definite plus) or a combination of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music History with Classical Kids and some of the resources at Practical Pages. Decisions, decisions!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Here's a chronological list of artists you can pull in. I believe MaryAnn Kohl had a book of art lessons that followed history, too.

TN Mama Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I second Harmony Fine Arts. Barb is so helpful and can answer any questions you might have. We've really been enjoying our art/music program this year! Ancient Art preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
