The intention of this Vincent van Gogh Picture Study Aid is to equip the home educator with some basic facts and understanding of a sampling of the work of the post-impressionist, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. 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 Vincent van Gogh 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 received the Van Gough study aid and art prints and I couldn’t be happier.
They are lovely and it’s so helpful to have each print In a child’s hand to look at as we are going through the study aid. The prints are high quality and the study aid is set up so I can use as little or as much info as I want, with references for further study added throughout. In the beginning of the study aid is a section on how Charlotte Mason recommended picture study and that is so helpful!
We did this last year but I had printed it all off at home and I am so very pleased to have just spent the extra and bought the study and prints already printed and bound ( Study Aid) I will do it again.
Thanks Rebecca for offering these!

These picture packets have been a huge blessings to us in our morning time. They are easy to use, have high quality images to print, choose excellent paintings from the artist’s catalog, and have just the right amount of background information on the artist/painting to really deepen our learning. Thank you so much!

They were beautifully printed, quality ink and paper but still affordable. We were able to get a set and an extra print copy, my kids were excited to finally each have their own copies of prints for picture study. Packaged well, everything was intact with no damage. The aid booklet was well put together and would be perfect for someone new to picture study while still benefiting well practiced family like ours. We will buying more sets in quarters to come.
