One of the things I love about the Charlotte Mason method is that you can level them up or level

them down to best fit your student.

And picture study is no exception.

We know that it's wonderfully simple and effective in the way that we usually do it.

But today, Rochelle Baborana is going to join me and tell you how you can level things up if

you would like to.

Welcome to the Simply Charlotte Mason podcast. I'm Sonia Schaefer. Today joining me in the studio is Rochelle Baborina. Thanks for joining me again.

It's a pleasure. We want to talk about

picture study today. I know you did a session at one of our SCM live events on how you can level

up picture study as the kids get older and everybody just clamored. It was like, can you make

that a podcast episode too?

So here you go.

Great.

Why don't we start first with the fundamentals to make sure everybody knows where you start with

picture study if we're going to then level up?

So the fundamentals are basically the same through the years.

We're just going to kind of

widen the field with those fundamentals as our student gets older. So we choose an

artist for our term and then we have about six reproductions to look at and so

perhaps we begin with the small short biography of the artist. Then we choose a work

of art. The children look at it for a certain amount of time until they can see it in their

mind's eye. It's then turned over and they tell all they can remember about it. So an act of narration.
