Homeschooling with Masterpiece Cards

"The Cards arrived and they are fabulous!  I have a 9, 8 and 4 year old and they all love them.  My 8 year old girl had them laid out on the sofa and was showing them to the 4 year old!  Love it!

Thanks for making this amazing tool."

C. Luczak from Herndon, VA

"We LOVE these Cards! We are a home schooling family and enjoy using the Cards for discussion starters...

The best feature is two-fold: quality and portability. The box is sturdy and attractive. I leave it out near our work area so it's easily accessible.

It continues to be a pleasure and joy to share the beauty and expression in this box! Thank you."

A. Adair from Tampa, FL

"The Cards are beautiful and I am excited to incorporate them into our homeschool studies! I have read some of your blog posts and found them to be very informative."


M. Schmidt from Plain City, OH

"We received the Masterpiece Cards and they are fabulous! Everything I was expecting and more. My daughters thought they would be great to study from and it is fun to just sit and browse through them...We will rearrange them many times, by date, country of origin and artist."

T. Stephens from Indianapolis, IN  

"Just wanted to tell you how impressed we were with your Cards".

Homeschool Curriculum for Art History

Designing a homeschool curriculum in art history or art appreciation can be daunting! So Masterpiece Cards did it for you! Here are the art history books used to select the famous paintings featured in Masterpiece Cards:

art history books

We combed through 17,000 pages to discover which famous paintings were discussed most in these art history survey books. Then we asked art history pros to explain the art paintings... and we packed the results onto 250 Cards.

We make it easy for you to decide which images and content are appropriate, to examine these art paintings with your family, and to create an itinerary for art museums in the US and Europe!.

See a sample art history card, or order Masterpiece Cards for your family.

Note: I confess that I stashed some turkey on the book, Gardner's Art Through the Ages...

 



The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Raves!

This product is such a wonderful resource for homeschoolers, and I was so excited to have the opportunity to review it! Masterpiece Cards are 250 art history flashcards of the most famous paintings from the Renaissance to the 1960s. Each 4"x6" flashcard contains the image of the artwork and all the essential information on the back, including the artist, his lifespan, the title of the piece, the medium used, the year it was completed, the original size, what museum and city it is currently displayed in, and a few paragraphs that explain the painting. There's a handy, portable booklet included that lists all the paintings by museum, as well as a Footnote card. All of this is packaged in a sturdy, cardboard flip-top box that takes up minimal space and is easy to access."

Homeschooler's Notebook Review

We were elated at the thumbs-up review of Masterpiece Cards from Heather Idoni, Editor of Homeschooler's Notebook.  She said: 

One thing I really like about these fine art images printed on heavy card stock is the fact that they are MUCH more versatile than a standard art book, because you can sort out what you want to use to teach or study in so many different ways.
