1. Famous Impressionist Artists Chart

Charlotte Mason suggests that we teach art appreciation and feature one artist a month and study his/her works.  I have selected my favourite Impressionist artists and made a gallery of their works. I included a brief biography of each artist  in this 16 page pdf. download.

Some more tips and suggestions:

• Laminate all the portraits and gallery pictures. (These could be re-used each few years.)
• For review, play a matching game and match the gallery to the correct artist. (I confess that it was challenging for me when I cut up the pages for the chart! )
• Let your children research and find 3 more art works to add to the gallery.
• Expand each biography and let your children give 5 – 8 facts about the artist studied.
• Let your children study at least one art work in-depth.  Let them narrate as many details as they can after some time studying the picture.
• Make a sketch or reproduce their own version of their favourite art work for each artist.  Use other techniques – make a mosaic instead of doing pointillism, or use water-colour pencils and then ‘paint’ with water to give the paint effect. (How about trying this re-enactment of an art work – Seurat’s painting in a real life photo!)
• Try find extra coffee table books, library books, calendars or posters with Impressionist Art.  (Have a look at Jimmie’s Collage on her art appreciation idea.)
• Put the featured art as a background or screen saver on your computer.
• Nothing beats seeing excellent art in real life – so visit a gallery or visit a local artist at their studio.
• Enjoy art!  Let it touch our hearts!
