Art Cards
for "Mommy, It's a Renoir!"
updated January 5, 2020
Step One - Level 1 (Easy)
Child Size Masterpieces of Steps 1, 2, 3 - Matching, Pairing, and Sorting - Level 1 Easy
One set:
Renoir, Auguste. A Girl With a Watering Can
Van Gogh, Vincent. The Chair and the Pipe
Durer, Albrecht. The Hare
American School. General Washington on a White Charger
Miro, Joan. Woman, bird and star
Matisse, Henri. Pot of Geraniums
These are the sets that are completely different in every regard (artist, subject, style). You usually only need one set of Easy cards for this step. If the child is unable
to do them, set it aside for a few months. Once the child has grasped the concept,
he/she will eagerly want to move on to a more challenging level.
Step One - Level 2 (Intermediate)
These are the sets that are similar either in artist or in subject or in style.
I recommend that you purchase boxes of notecards, all of the same artist, subject, or painting style. They usually come as sets of 4 each of 6 images
or 3 each of 8 images. For example, I went with the following from the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
Here are the sets I came up with:
Set One: Landscapes (Fields & Gardens)
Monet, Claude. Haystacks (Effect of Snow and Sun)
Monet, Claude. Poppy Field
Hassam, Childe. Celia Thaxter's Garden, Isles of Shoals, Maine
