Here you’ll find a list of resources to aid you in Charlotte Mason picture study! I have included links to different resources which can include a PDF download that contains printable versions of at least six pieces from the listed artist (according to the AmblesideOnline Artist Rotation Schedule). If available, I also offer links to Picture Study Aids (some which are free) that contain further information on the artist and each piece as well as printable versions of the pieces covered. In some cases, there are also links to premium Picture Study Aids (some in print form) as well as high-quality picture study prints shipped to you.
If you are interested in reading more about Charlotte Mason picture study, here are a few articles and guides on how to do it and what it looked like in Charlotte Mason’s day:
