Note from Barb-Harmony Art Mom

This little mini-unit is for busy moms who would like to

incorporate art appreciation into their homeschooling week.

I have kept it simple and fun for the kids with just a little

cutting, reading, observing, and coloring to learn a bit about

the Renaissance art history time period. This unit only

scratches the surface and if you are interested in learning

more, please see Harmony Fine Arts Grades 2 and 6 for more

Medieval and Renaissance art.
