Art and Music Appreciation - Free plans available

Are you looking for a simple, prepared composer and artist study to use with your children? Barb at Harmony Art Mom has several such resources, and she has made one of them available free this summer! Here's what she says about it:

How would you like to have some relaxed plans for art and music appreciation this summer? I have pulled together six weeks' worth of ideas for you to use with your family. I have chosen an artist and a composer for you and put down some specific plans for listening, viewing, and follow-up for each.

I have packaged them all up into a neat little PDF for you to download for free.

The plans introduce the music of Felix Mendelssohn and the paintings of Claude Monet in this mini-unit. The plans also include every print I suggest and you can view them in the PDF, online, or you can print them out if you wish. I have created simple artist biography and composer biography notebook pages for you to print out as well.

To access the pdf, go to her blog post about the resource, and you'll find the link to click on. That will bring you to a Lulu page of ebooks, etc., that Barb has available, and the free summer art and music appreciation one is at the top of the list. (At least it was when I checked a minute ago!) From there you can download the ebook pdf onto your computer.
