Mandylubug Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Do you have a fun living book recommendation for these two topics. We are going to do a Composer study and an Artist picture study this year. I am finding my own resources for the music and pieces of Art but would love a resource of fun, short living books to go along with our studies. Any recommendations?

Mrs. A Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Any books by Mike Venezia books are fun and they are available for both composers and artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Lake Mom Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Check out simplycharlottemason.com and also Zeezok music study. For artists we like to add fun books like Katie Meets the Impressionists and Suzette and the Puppy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 If you are willing to consider fiction, we read Letters to Horseface, about Mozart, this year. It is epistolary and based on the trip Mozart made to Italy with his father at age 14 - the letters are to his sister. I got it for 25 cents at a library sale and didn't know how it would go over, but dd10 loved it. It's out of print but available used on amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to avoid buying the portfolios and save a few bucks but may have to resort to it. I found a book for Mozart and will use online music selections for it. Just need an artist and beautiful pictures to enjoy. I always see calendars with photos. Of course now that I want one of those I am struggling to find one.

Bay Lake Mom Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 As for picture study, I visit Ambleside Online and access prints for free from tons of artists. I just printed Degas prints for the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
