Kimberly –
I had been wanting to do some kind of art appreciation or picture study, but didn’t know where to start. Having been impressed with the “Stuff They Left Behind” portfolio I had recently ordered, I decided to give the “Picture Study Portfolio” a try and picked Van Gogh to start with. What a wonderful resource this is–and all in one beautiful packet! The prints were beautiful and the included booklet had great info on each piece along with background info about Van Gogh’s life. We also utilized the suggested reading list and checked out one of the books on Van Gogh from the library and read it as a family. My kids (and I!) enjoyed interacting with this artist and his artwork and I’m looking forward to ordering more portfolios! Thank you for making this so easy!
