Make art appreciation simple and beautiful!

Everything you need to successfully do picture study is in this easy-to-use portfolio. Just one 15-minute lesson once a week is all it takes to spread this feast and cultivate within your children an appreciation for what is just, true, and beautiful.

“We cannot measure the influence that one or another artist has upon the child’s sense of beauty, upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sights of life; he is enriched more than we know in having really looked at even a single picture.”—Charlotte Mason

  1. Stephanie W

    This high quality portfolio makes studying this artist convenient and totally accessible. The narrative about his life is also very endearing and the children (5-12) surprised me in their observations and insights about his life and his art.
    We chose to use this artist when studying the Middle Ages this term. I will add that taking time to appreciate an artist like this who seems “wooden” and “formal” by modern standards will increase the children’s aptitude to appreciate more realistic artistic techniques developed later.
    So grateful for resources like this!
