I've bounced around a few different ideas for artist/picture study. I'm fairly certain that we will be using Classical Writing Primer as our grammar/copywork program and that also includes picture study. So we'll do those activities, in addition to my plan, whenever the kids show an interest. That should expose them to quite a variety of art over the years. The current plan (subject, and likely, to change) is as follows.
3 artists per year
6 works of art per artist
