Does anyone know of a list of art resources according to time period? sm

[gandpsmommy]

I would like to start next year correlating art studies to time period which we are studying in history. Does anyone know of a book or guide that does this?

There are a lot of great art history books for for younger children on amazon. Here are a few:

http://www.amazon.com/Art-Story-Teaching-Elementary-Children/dp/1591583594/ref=pd_sim_b_title_17

http://www.amazon.com/Childs-Book-Art-Lucy-Micklethwait/dp/1564582035/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201526599&sr=1-7

http://www.amazon.com/Usborne-Childrens-Book-Art-Internet/dp/0794512232/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201526647&sr=1-12

Art is Story is probably your best bet. It's written as a story that you can read aloud to your children. It's also chronological. We've enjoyed it a lot.

This is a great webste for studying individual paintings:

Hope that helps,

Here's a spreadsheet (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=prHwwGF0VxGqPCRBFpddPBA) of my list.

Also, for earlier time periods, the "Museum Guide" (Egypt, Greece and Rome) books sold by Veritas Press are good.

I have an art study plan that goes with modern history.

I tried to link it here but it is too big. Let me know if you would like a copy.

All through the ages is a great resource.

All Through the Ages (http://www.nothingnewpress.com/atta.shtml)by Nothing New Press

I just read on her site though, that the book is out of print, but, the 3rd edition is due to be out in Feb of this year. I use this book a lot. I have had this resource for years and I have not been dissapointed with it.

Either Harmony Fine Arts (http://www.harmonyfinearts.com/) or the book Discovering Great Artists (check your library) might be just the thing! :)
