Charlotte Mason Picture Study: Frederic Remington

The Art Curator for Kids - Charlotte Mason Picture Study - Frederic Remington Art Lessons

It has been FOREVER since I did a Charlotte Mason Picture Study resource for homeschool art appreciation study. My goal is to start with a year of American art, and I am almost there! So far, I have created posts focused on the American artists Mary Cassatt, John Singleton Copley, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and Thomas Cole.

Today’s resource is about Frederic Remington, an American painter, sculptor, and illustrator who documented the people of the Old West in the late 1800s. 

I have to say, I used to hate this artist. His art is something of an acquired taste, but after working as a Gallery Teacher at the Amon Carter Museum years ago, I learned to love what he has to offer. His art, especially his later work, is noble and accessible to kids. And while the Wild West can be a little boring for some, check out his art and spend some time with it. See if it will change your mind. 🙂

The following links will help you discuss these works with your children. These works are specifically chosen for the Charlotte Mason Picture Study technique described in the first link.

Frederic Remington

Frederic Remington was an American painter, sculptor, and illustrator who focused on themes from the American west.

Although he was from New York, he repeated traveled west . While there, he visited with cowboys, soldiers, and Native Americans, took documentary photographs, and collected artifacts. He illustrated the west for several major magazines, but is most well-known for his paintings and sculptures of the people of the Old West.

I like how this program, unlike other art class resource membership programs, feels authentic. It's like art matters more here, and not fancy flash-in-the-pan trendiness. The goal of Art Class Curator seemed to be helping kids develop a lifelong love and art appreciation versus "Hey, look. I painted this fish."

Your questions are helping me to delve into much deeper learning, and my students are getting better at discussion-and then, making connections in their own work. Art Class Curator is awesome!
Denise W.
Interestingly, my lower performing classes really get engaged in these [lessons] and come away with some profound thoughts!
Melissa G.
I had the most amazing 6th grade class today. They were jumping out of their seats with hands raised just to respond and give input. It was as if I was waving candy in front of them! They saw more and more and the ideas and interpretations unfolded. So cool!!! This is what makes teaching art so wonderful – thank you!!
Caroline G.
I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable resource you have through Art Class Curator. Not only do you have thought provoking activities and discussion prompts, but it saves me so much time in preparing things for myself! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface with your site.
