Child-Sized Masterpieces, Level 5 - Paintings
Central to the Child-Size Masterpieces program, carefully explained in the How to Use Child-Size Masterpieces for Art Appreciation (A108), this companion book contains 32 postcard-size images designed for learning about famous paintings.
This sequential set (Step 5) teaches children the names of famous paintings and should be introduced after completion of Steps 1, 2, and 3, or 4.
Selections have been chosen to appeal to young children; each reproduction is imprinted on the back with the artist's name and the title of the painting.
Each of the 16 famous painting reproductions has two cards--one with a label and information about the work and one without. This set also includes 16 artist name cards.
Artists represented are: Gainsborough, Lawrence, Reynolds, Hogarth, Velazquez, Fragonard, da Vinci, Raphael, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Seurat, Hicks, Van Gogh, and Wyeth.
To make cards, cut out the 4¾" x 6½" images and laminate, if desired. Ages 3+.
A wonderful, early introduction to art appreciation and artist recognition from Renaissance to modern art. (This 2nd edition updates the cover only.) Based on Montessori principles, even the smallest child can perform the simplest activity: matching paintings. As they become more familiar with each artist’s style, they learn to classify several different paintings by artist. Later, students learn to classify artists’ works according to the various “schools” of art. Manual describes eight progressively more difficult steps or levels of activities as follows:
- Step 1 - Matching identical paintings
- Step 2 - Pairing two similar paintings by the same artist
- Step 3 - Grouping four paintings by each of three artists
- Step 4 - Learning the names of famous artists
- Step 5 - Learning the names of famous paintings
- Step 6 - Learning about the schools of art
- Step 7 - Sorting schools of art
- Step 8 - Placing paintings on a time line
Art postcard books for above. Cards are excellent reproductions of paintings.
