Picture study can be done with the entire family together. Each Module below contains six artists. Concentrate on each artist for about six weeks. We tried to select somewhat diverse styles and time periods within most Modules so the artists wouldn’t be confused in the child’s mind. We also included some modern photographers whose work is respected and unique. Some Modules lend themselves well to certain History Modules, so watch for those Comments. Simply select a Module and assign it to the family. Click on any artist’s name to see corresponding resources in our CM Bookfinder.
