Charlotte Mason Picture Study Resources

Here you’ll find a list of downloads to aid in your Charlotte Mason picture study endeavors! I have included links to two resources – the first is a PDF download that contains printable versions only of at least six pieces from the listed artist (according to the Ambleside Online Artist Rotation Schedule). If available, the second link is to a PDF picture study aid (most of them are free) that contains further information on the artist and each piece as well as printable versions of the pieces covered.

If you are interested in reading more about Charlotte Mason picture study, I have also written a post discussing why it’s important to include in your homeschool and another post on how we do picture study in both our home and homeschool co-op.

How to do Picture Study

The list is in alphabetical order by artist last name (except in special cases where the artist is known by their first name, eg. Giotto, Michelangelo, Leonardo, etc.)

Also, if anyone is looking for the old AO Yahoo Art Prints Group, I have most (if not all) of them here!
