Kristina, for our study I just pulled a brief biography off the internet and read it. I used this one http://diyhomeschooler.com/grandma-moses-a-mini-unit/
Then I got the book Grandma Moses 25 Masterworks by Jane Kallir from the library. It is a huge (14.5”x 10.5 ”)book but the paintings are much better than the laminated ones I bought off ebay. The kids pick one picture and read the authors description of it. The book has a biography in it, I had already used the link above so we just skipped that part of the book.
I had actually checked out a few books about Grandma Moses, but the pictures in this particular one were really nice due to the enlarged size. It is probably one I will try to purchase in the future.
Next week, I probably let the older kids pick a picture from the book and try to recreate it with whatever art supplies they want to use.
This is the first artist study they haven’t complained about. They don’t care much for the ones back in the renaissance era. My kids are dd11, ds9, dd6, by the way.
Hope that helps,
Paula
