The intention of this Picture Study Aid is to equip the home educator with some basic facts and understanding of a sampling of the work of Henry Ossawa Tanner. It is not meant to be an exhaustive analysis or study of each piece or a complete biography of the artist.
About picture study, Ms. Mason recommended keeping learning as simple as possible, especially in the younger years, and put extra emphasis on the images by themselves.
There is no talk about schools of painting, little about style; consideration of these matters comes in later life, the first and most important thing is to know the pictures themselves. As in a worthy book we leave the author to tell his own tale, so do we trust a picture to tell its tale through the medium the artist gave it. In the region of art as else-where we shut out the middleman. (vol 6 pg 216)
Definite teaching is out of the question; suitable ideas are easily given, and a thoughtful love of Art inspired by simple natural talk over the picture at which the child is looking. (PR Article “Picture Talks”)
…we begin now to understand that art is not to be approached by such an acadamised road. It is of the spirit, and in ways of the spirit must we make our attempt. We recognise that the power of appreciating art and of producing to some extent an interpretation of what one sees is as universal as intelligence, imagination, nay, speech, the power of producing words. But there must be knowledge and, in the first place, not the technical knowledge of how to produce, but some reverent knowledge of what has been produced; that is, children should learn pictures, line by line, group by group, by reading, not books, but pictures themselves. A friendly picture-dealer supplies us with half a dozen beautiful little reproductions of the work of some single artist, term by term. After a short story of the artist’s life and a few sympathetic words about his trees or his skies, his river-paths or his figures, the little pictures are studied one at a time; that is, children learn, not merely to see a picture but to look at it, taking in every detail.” (vol 6 pg 214)
This Picture Study Aid is meant to offer basic information about the artists as well as ready answers should your student ask about a particular aspect of a piece and the explanation isn’t readily evident. Ms. Mason emphasized not focusing on strict academic discourse when doing picture study, but rather simply exposing students to the art itself:
His education should furnish him with whole galleries of mental pictures, pictures by great artists old and new;––…––in fact, every child should leave school with at least a couple of hundred pictures by great masters hanging permanently in the halls of his imagination, to say nothing of great buildings, sculpture, beauty of form and colour in things he sees. Perhaps we might secure at least a hundred lovely landscapes too,––sunsets, cloudscapes, starlight nights. At any rate he should go forth well furnished because imagination has the property of magical expansion, the more it holds the more it will hold. (vol 6 pg 43)

I have used and enjoyed this guide as well as other guides for Courbet and Brugel the Elder.
I appreciate the biography of the artist, the choice of paintings to be studied, the description and comments on each painting.
Thank you for working to provide them to help our homeschool picture study.

I have loved doing this study with my children! The bio was short and sweet and then the excerpt from the book that Henry Ossowa Tanner wrote himself….magical!! My kids remember his words so clearly and the wonderful moment when he figured out that he was going to be a painter. It was such a cool way to set up our unit and a sweet tidbit that they’ve talked about since the week we started. Love the pictures and the short descriptions that come with it. Honestly, this packet is perfect in length and has made our morning times that much more special and fluid. It’s easy to pick up and go and I didn’t need to prep anything. Highly recommend!!

I ordered a set of artist print and couldn’t be more please with them. They came quicker than I expected and were packaged in a way that they would not be damaged. I will most certainly order from them again. Good communication via email, as well.

I am looking to include more diverse artists into our artist study and I was glad to find Tanner’s set. His work will fit into our historical time period and highlight an American artist. I appreciate that many of the sets offered here are not available through other sites. I like having more options.

This has been a nice addition to our morning time. Rebecca did a wonderful job on these! I currently have a 6 year-old, 17 year-old, and I myself am 40! I have enjoyed learning with my children and plan to purchase more picture studies. Thanks again for your hard work!!

Absolutely love the art packages of A Humble Place. This is our second time ordering for our art study and I am very pleased with the art and booklet. The only thing I would say with the Henry Ossawa Tanner package is that the extra information (that you can buy) is pretty expensive and I can’t find any of the books in the library. I would have loved to have some more information about him in this package, in the bio. We are very exited to start this art study! Thank you.
