Charlotte Mason Picture Study Aid Winslow Homer

Further Reading on Homer

A book I found particularly helpful and written in a living format was A Weekend with Winslow

Homer by Ann Beneduce from which I took the story of Homer’s childhood for the first section of
this picture study aid. You can find the book here: http://a.co/9DDLK2Y

For children of all ages, The Getting to Know the World’s Greatest Artists series offers a volume on
Homer. The cartoons are a little twaddle-y, but I think the information in the format it provides is

good. You can find the book here: http://a.co/dztLzdX

For younger kids, Gatsby's Grand Adventures: Book 1 Winslow Homer's Snap the Whip was another
book that came up on various searches but I was unable to find it locally. Because it covers one of

the paintings specifically listed in this picture study aid, I thought I’d mention it, but definitely pre-

read it before sharing with your students. You can find that one here: http://a.co/2wiMfp2
