I found a great post on Squidoo with ideas for further Nature and Artist study with John James Audubon. Below is just the beginning excerpt. You can find all of the lesson ideas here - Artist Study and Nature Study with Audubon.
Artist Study and Nature Study Overlap with Audubon
Was John James Audubon a sketching naturalist or a nature loving artist?Actually, his bird drawings were intended to be scientific sketches instead of art. But most people would agree that his careful observation of birds brought a realism and detail to his sketches that elevated them to the level of art.
If you chose Audubon for your Charlotte Mason styled artist study, be sure to incorporate what you learn about birds into your nature studies as well. Simply turn the focus of your nature walks to studying birds and make the most of your Audubon unit study.
Below are ideas, resources, and photos to inspire your study of Audubon.
I never thought of studying Audubon for artist study too! The Squidoo page is very helpful. Thanks!
