Any Charlotte Mason homeschooling parent will tell you that art/artist study is central to a CM education. The ‘Art’ app available from iTunes makes teaching children about famous artists and their works a snap!
This app costs .99, but it’s definitely worth the small cost.
When you open it up, you are presented with a nice menu and lots of options. You can browse all of the artists by name, by date of birth, or you can search for a particular artist or painting. The selection is HUGE!
Every artist has his/her own gallery or art works that you can browse through.
You can save your favorite works and create slideshows.
In addition, there is a lengthy and detailed biography of each artist. Links for additional information are also included.
When you have learned about a particular artist, you can take a quiz!
For a mere .99 you can have access to hundreds of artists and their greatest works. For a homeschooling parent on a budget, this is a perfect app! Plus, it’s homeschooling on the go and a way to keep bored kids distracted while taking care of errands and appointments.
This app gets a 5 Star rating from me. 😉
that sounds really cool
Love it! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You’re making me want an iPhone uber bad!
