Being an Art History Teacher, it's really more like a sampling of great art from the Early Renaissance to Modern Art. Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the links to Emily Wierenga's blog and website. Her paintings are wonderful. They remind me of Matisse's work. Will keep the link and check back regularly.; June 16, 2010 at 8:50 PM

My Little Gallery of Favorite Art Masterpieces

I love Art! I have taught both Art and Art History to my kids, other homeschoolers and students in school. I wanted to *decorate* this blog with some of my favorite paintings from the world's greatest artists. Mind you, I don't necessarily agree with the lifestyle choices these artists have made for themselves during their lifetime. I just love the Art they've given to the world and the artistic talents God gave them!

And since I can't collect them in real life (nor would I have the space in my home to display them, much as I would love to do that!), I'm so happy to be able to collect them online with these incredible copyright-free images! What a visual feast for the eyes (at least for me)! I try and share this enjoyment with my kids and students. My little collection here represents a brief survey of Western Art from the Middle Ages to modern times. I find it so rewarding just looking at these masterpieces .... Thank you, Lord, for the gift of Art.

Later on, I will post some of the art projects we've done in my classes and the works my students have created.
