Painted Days - Discovering Australian Artists of the Early 20th Century Through Picture Study: Charlotte Mason Art Appreciation Series

Explore the coastlines, deserts, cities, and quiet moments of everyday life in Australia's early 20th century with Painted Days, a rich and accessible art appreciation course for home learning. Inspired by the Charlotte Mason method of picture study, this resource invites students to slow down, observe closely, and connect deeply with a diverse range of artworks. This study explores 16 artworks by painters such as Emanuel Phillips Fox, Elioth Gruner, Dorrit Black, and Eric Wilson-alongside two beautiful works by Indigenous painters from the Hermannsburg School of Watercolour. These artists reflect a time of growing artistic diversity in and beyond Australia, drawing on influences from Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Cubism, and Abstract art. Their work reveals a rich and varied vision of Australian art in the first half of the 20th century. Whether you're teaching at home or enriching a school curriculum, Painted Days offers a vibrant and engaging introduction to Australian artists of the early 20th century and the enduring beauty of their vision.
