Autumn 2010 Art and Music Appreciation Plans: Explanation and a Review

I have received several emails asking if the art and music plans in the Autumn 2010 ebook are related to the autumn nature study. The answer is no. These plans are a general study of Edgar Degas and Sergei Prokofiev and are not seasonally related at all. (The same thing is true for the Summer 2010 Art and Music plans except they feature the works of Vincent Van Gogh and George Handel.)

You can use these plans at any time of the year and they will be appropriate for all ages of children.

The plans were designed to be flexible and like all Harmony Fine Arts plans you are able to choose how your family will study the artist and composer. This ebook will help you complete picture study by providing images or links for online viewing and then if you want to take it a step further the plans outline a follow-up activity to enhance your artist study. Using these hands-on activities, your family can extend the study so it is meaningful and fits your style of learning. The notebook pages included with the ebook give children that enjoy that sort of activity a place to record their thoughts and experiences with both the artist and the composer.

The composer study plans include links to listen to Prokofiev's music online, suggestions for music to purchase if you would to listen to more music, and also a YouTube video that will enhance your study. All the suggested music YouTube videos are appropriate for all ages. There is also a link to a special animated version of Peter and the Wolf that you may wish to preview before sharing with young children....some scenes may be a little too intense for very little ones.

I give suggestions for a plan to study for both the artist and the composer. Your family could easily cover the material in this ebook in about four weeks but our family is going to stretch it out to six weeks by listening to all the suggested music, completing the accompanying notebook pages, viewing all the artwork, and finishing up with all of the follow-up art activities. If you wanted to further stretch the study out, there are coloring pages and links to view more artwork by Degas.

I hope that further explains how the Autumn 2010 Art and Music Appreciation plans in the ebook will help your family either get started with your own study of art and music or by gathering all the information you need into one place so you have more time for enjoying the subjects and not planning them.
