asmall Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Is there a resource for picture study, that is set up like in FLL? I am looking only for the picture study part. I am looking for something with some questions about the picture and links where we can see the picture in color. It would be nice to have a little information about the artist as well. Is such a resource available? AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuovonne Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I like the Come Look With Me series of book for picture study. Each two page spread has a color print, discussion questions, and artist bio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Is this for art or writing? Picture study takes on some different forms. For writing, there is a vintage textbook with questions to ask. From those questions, you write your paragraph or sentence. I believe that it is Sheldon's that uses picture study for narration. For art, you don't need resources per se. You can make your own art cards with cardstock. I do. You can use this list to discuss the work of art .... here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmall Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I was really looking for something for art, but a little extra writing won't hurt my kids. At first I was looking for plain old picture study. But now when I look at all the possibilities I might have to change my mind! :D AL Edited June 29, 2012 by asmall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristusG Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Do you have an iPad? We purchased the Art Authority app on the iPad and it is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kfamily Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like this free resource site: http://makingartfun.com/htm/meet-the-artist-index.htm There is a brief biography of the artist, a couple of paintings, sometimes a coloring page (of one of their works) and a meet-the-artist printable page too. There is also a site for composers....I think it is makingmusicfun, but I could look it up if anyone wanted it. I have all of this and other sites I like under The Arts on my blog (amindinthelight).

ChrissySC Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is this available online? I went through my notes, just for you ... Google Books - The first title is Primary Language Lessons. As a matter of fact, your first picture study is "kites", and your first lesson is about statements. :) There are lots of grammar tidbits. You work with the "kites" over several lessons. It was the first where I had seen a picture study used for narration and study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcara Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Simply Charlotte Mason has picture study portfolios that look terrific. :iagree: I ordered two of these and they are perfect-exactly what I was looking for. They have nice prints and a book with info on the artist and the prints. We do about one per week and leave it displayed all week. My kids have really enjoyed it!

bpskowski Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Gardenofpraise.com has a heading on famous paintings on home page. Within it there are many famous artists and paintings. She provides biographies for each artist. She has worksheets and quizzes and also games and coloring pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
