Well, I shamefully admit that you may see Cezanne in the sidebar again next school year. We finished up school around the middle of April and when we were done, we were DONE! Artist and composer study didn’t happen. The way I look at it – I’m one step ahead of the game as the new school year approaches! LOL
Here are the sidebar references for Cezanne for your sake and mine!

We just finished up our study of Van Gogh. As usual, I’m adding the resources from my sidebar into a post for future reference. April is our last artist study for the school year. (Yep, we’re almost finished with school – and looking forward to a nice, long summer break!!) We’ll be studying Cezanne. Those resources will be in the sidebar soon.

I chose the three paintings above for the purpose of learning to draw trees this spring as they begin to blossom.

Here’s the last art/nature project of the Van Gogh month. After doing picture studies of the spring trees above, we went outside to find trees and bushes in bloom and the kiddos completed their own spring artwork.
