Who doesn’t love a painting grandma? This Grandma Moses artist study will help you get to know the sweet lady who didn’t begin painting until she was 77 years old. What an inspiration!
In our homeschool, we study one artist for a month at a time, typically working on it one day per week during that month. We focus on the biography of an artist through books, videos, and websites. We also study a new piece of art each week, making comparisons between other works by the same artist and works of other artists we’ve studied in the past.
Of course, we always spend some time working on our own artist-inspired art projects, too! Sometimes, we try to replicate a specific piece of artwork or simply work on a style of art. Either way, we always have the most fun working at the table together creating beautiful things.
