Ballet Fine Art Pages from EnrichmentStudies.com “Every child should leave school with at least a couple hundred pictures by great masters hanging permanently in the halls of his imagination.” ~Charlotte Mason Fine Art Pages make it easy! I don’t think I’m alone as a homeschool mother who dreams of sharing fine art with her children.....and then not getting it done. I mean, by the time the money is spent on math books and science supplies and penmanship workbooks and great books to read, it feels hard to part with any more money for art books. Or if you *do* get the art books, you have probably noticed that the kids don’t really gravitate toward them. Nobody’s reading them! Nobody’s looking at the pictures! It feels like nobody cares! And after a long day of schooling the kiddos, do you really want to tack art onto the schedule as well? I know, ladies. I know. One day I came up with an idea. What if I could introduce fine art to my children simply, painlessly, inexpensively, without taking up hardly any time, and in a way that would prevent the children from resistance because they wouldn’t even realize anything was going on? YES! So here it is, so simple that I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner: Fine Art Pages. Print these out (either at home, or hire an office or copy shop to do it for you), either on regular paper or card stock. Use page protectors or don’t--your choice. Then stick up some art on the walls where every family member will see them and have some time to notice them. Where? The bathroom, next to the toilet. (yes, I’m serious) The bathroom, on the mirror or next to it, where people will see the art while they brush their teeth. On the wall next to each person’s bed (if they are old enough to be trusted), where they can see the art while they lay down and wake up each day. Ballet Fine Art Pages from EnrichmentStudies.com On the wall by the kitchen sink, where people will see the art when they wash dishes or wash their hands or get a drink of water or help make dinner. Do you see where I’m going with this? Basically, anyplace that you notice the eye will rest is a potentially great spot for one of these art pages to go. Use some poster putty and stick that piece of art on the wall. You don’t even have to tell anybody what you’re doing. Just stick it up and walk away. Because they will notice it. You may find that your family would enjoy some fun incentives for paying attention to the art around the house. If you have a reward system, or if you want to create one, now is a great time! Let the kids know that random opportunities will come up for them to tell what they know about the art, such as the name of the piece, the artist, materials used, and so on. And then....wait. At lunch one day you might ask, “Who knows the title of the piece of art in the upstairs bathroom?” and then reward the ones that know and reinforce it for the rest. In the car you might ask, “Who painted the picture of the Mona Lisa that is on the back door?” Since you, too, will be exposed to the art while you go about your daily life, this should become an easy and natural part of your awareness.

Kopplin For generations, Vose Galleries has welcomed the opportunity to shine a light on the work of ‘unsung artists’ throughout art history, and in the sphere of American Impressionism there is perhaps no artist more deserving of this attention than Theodore Wendel. As part of the first wave of Americans to visit Giverny in the summer of 1887, joining John Leslie Breck, Willard Metcalf and Theodore Robinson, Wendel became one of the earliest painters to apply impressionist principles to his plein air interpretations of the French countryside; sources later reported that the master himself, Claude Monet, who limited his interactions with the Americans, thought highly of Wendel’s work. In March of 1889, short- ly after settling in Boston, Wendel organized a three-day viewing of his pastoral landscapes at a studio on Boylston Street, coinciding with Met- calf’s exhibition of foreign paintings held nearby at the St. Botolph Club. Theodore Wendel painting daughter Mary, Both artists garnered positive reviews from the local press, and over the Upper Farm, Ipswich, circa 1915 next several years Wendel maintained an active exhibition schedule, including a two-person show with Theodore Robinson in 1892, featu- provided, combined with his steady roster of exhibitions, allowed Wen- ring both oils and pastels; several solo and group shows with his fellow del to feel more financially secure in his profession and in 1897 he and Boston artists at the St.

He went to Chicago last week where he will take lessons of experienced teachers, with intentions to make perspective drawing and painting a profession. All who have seen Theodore’s pencil sketches the past year or two, are convinced that he has selected a congenial profession.

In the late 19th century, these artists adapted the innovations of French Impressionism, and ultimately paved the way to its place as one of the most enduring styles in the history of American art. In addition to four paintings by Monet, the exhibition will present nearly fifty paintings and thirty prints dated between 1882 and 1920 by many of the leading figures in American Impressionism, such as Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, Willard Metcalf, Theodore Robinson, John Henry Twachtman, and J. Alden Weir. Monet and American Impressionism will be on view from Feb. 3, 2015 to May 24, 2015. “The Harn is delighted to add to the scholarship and understanding of the development of American Impressionism. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue will pay particular attention to how the movement embraced aspects of social and cultural life in the United States during the period and how proponents of Impressionism in America responded to the paintings of Claude Monet—both what they embraced and what they ignored,” said Harn Curator of Modern Art Dulce Román.

    ten years he conducted an antique class for women at Cooper Union. He also did illustrations for books and magazines like Scribner's and Century. Whenever possible, he did paint, although in the early I 89os, his work seems to have been mainly portraiture. Perhaps as a result of his friendship with artists like CHILDE HASSAM, J. ALDEN WEIR, and ROBERT REID, MetcalfSOOn came under the influence of impressionism. Landscapes with broken brushwork, bright colors, and unconventional compositions characterize his work beginning about I895· In 1897 he became a founding member of the Ten American Painters, a group consisting largely of impressionist artists. He also undertook murals, such as the frieze ofJustice in the Appellate Court Building in New York in I898 and I899· In I 903, Metcalf stopped teaching and retreated to his parents' farm in Maine, where he devoted himself to landscape painting. The artist considered this juncture in his career his "Renaissance." Financial considerations, however, soon forced him to resume teaching again, this time at the Rhode Island School of Design. After a successful exhibition at the St. Botolph Club in Boston in 1906, however, his future was more secure. In the early I 90os, Metcalf spent his summers at the popular artists' colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut. There he painted landscapes like May Night, I9o6 (Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.), which shows the residence of Florence Griswold, the friend and patron of many artists. In New York he maintained a studio in the Hotel des Artistes and was an active member of the Century Association.
