What Art Museum Fans Say

Masterpiece Cards are fabulous! On a recent trip to an art museum, I found that I kept forgetting the names of artists and other details I learned during my college art history classes. With the great information on the back of the cards, the Masterpiece Cards have been the perfect memory refresher. I love them!!"

K. Marks from Washington, DC

"Masterpiece Cards are wonderful. Each Card includes a very robust description of the art and its significance along with detailed information such as medium, size and where the art can be found. A helpful Checklist sorted by city accompanies the cards, so you can see famous paintings wherever you go!

What Art History Teachers Say

I use Masterpiece Cards as an AP art history study guide. I also use them when we play Jeopardy, another type of review method. I have also used them for tests, giving each student an individual Card and a set of questions, which cuts down on cheating... A wonderful tool for all Art History teachers!"

From Home Schooling Families

From the magazine for homeschool families, "The Old Schoolhouse":

"There are so many ways to use these great cards in your homeschool. So far, we have enjoyed simply pulling out a random card here or there to observe, read about, and discuss. It's a lot of fun for both my kids and me to learn about such beautiful works of art!"

Read (please!) the rest of their review at The Old Schoolhouse site.

"We LOVE these Cards! We are a home schooling family and enjoy using the Cards for discussion starters. I might randomly pull a card out of the box and I will ask the kids some general questions about the work, then we will explore those questions further. We also might experiment with our own interpretive art or writing inspired by the work studied.

The best feature of the Cards 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.

When we received the Cards, the kids and I spent nearly an hour looking at the first 30 or so, and started or pattern of discussion regarding the masterpieces. It continues to be a pleasure and joy to share the beauty and expression in this box!
