Last week I shared that when my youngest son was approaching the upper forms, I decided to plan a picture study rotation for him that would progress chronologically from the High Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century. I didn’t mention that I also did the same thing with composer study.

Some of you have asked to see the sequence we are following (we’re about 3/4 of the way through). So I decided to post it. It’s by no means perfect and is not meant to be normative. At least one artist is clearly in the wrong place, and the choice of composers betrays my personal preferences (although I tried not to exclude any of the really big names).

Enjoying art and music this way has allowed us to experience a multi-year journey through the history of art, and it has been a delight. Perhaps it might inspire you as you consider how to schedule picture and composer study in your own homeschool journey. You can find it here.
