Charlotte Mason emphasized picture study.
Picture study is easy to incorporate into
your homeschool schedule & the rewards are great.
Here's how to do it:
- Simply choose an artist that interests you
- read a brief biography about the artist
- select 3-6 works of art created by the artist you selected
- each week, allow your child to quietly "take in" one picture; noticing each detail
- turn the picture over & hide it
- ask your child to see the picture in her mind's eye
- now ask her to describe the picture to you in as much detail as she can recall (narrate)
- lastly, have a short discussion regarding how the picture made your child feel, think, etc...
Just a reminder: this is the time of year
to buy clearance 2013 art calendars.
This is a fantastic way to get cheap, quality art prints so that you can start a Charlotte Mason style weekly picture study in your homeschool.
