Picture Study... Artist Appreciation Ideas

I'm BACK!!! Been Busy, and well haven't been scheduling in my time to do this, so here we go- let's try again!!!

I was just getting ready to prep my family artist study, started a google search for ideas, and..........
BAM!!!!!
Look what I found!

FREE PICTURE STUDY GUIDES!!!!

love it!!!

So how do I use these in our school?

In our Morning Times. We study one artist a month, and look at up to 4 pictures throughout the month. One week we try to draw, paint, or sculpt like them. One week we learn about the artist's background. The other two weeks we look at and "investigate" the artwork.Very LOW KEY, and SIMPLE!!! I use a lot of the Charlotte Mason approach to Picture Study's.

My idea is to
a- inspire
and
b-expose

.... from there those who love art will do it naturally, those who don't, won't!

Oh and just to keep it all real.... we are just starting these up again, after over a year of not doing it!!!
SEASONS LADIES!!! SEASONS!!!!

    Love it! I knew the Spirit guided me to your blog again for a reason. Between seeing your family's picture on my fridge and hearing about Abby's engagement (for real?! So cool!!!), you have been on my mind. Thanks for sharing! Can I repost this idea on my homeschooling blog? I LOVE this reminder. We have done a few picture studies, but I just haven't done it so much lately. LOVE the site and your idea. Keep being awesome! :) Love you!

Sugar, oh sugar!!!

okay so as i have stated, we don't eat sugar. This being said, we do eat natural cane {also known as turbinado} sugar, honey, stevia and agava. I do try to limit this. I figure to some degree sugar is sugar, and not good, even in it's natural state. I don't want to get into a "sugar fight" with anyone! So all I am going to say, is it's quite common knowledge that sugar isn't good for you. I am a sugar lover! Always have been, I'm sure. I have a very, very, very sweet tooth. Sugar was hard for me to give up. Which is why I am so thankful for so many natural sweeteners! The reason we stopped, was knowledge, we started studying sugar, and learning about it, and we had to stop. As for our family, we had to give it up all or nothing, we are a cold turkey kind of family!!! We have tried to give up sugar, oh I don't know around 100 times!!! This time it finally stuck. The more I read, the more I study the more I am so thankful for that decision. So how di
