Enrichment Study 2 Booklist

​“We cannot measure the influence that one or another artist has upon the child’s sense of beauty,
upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sights of life; he is enriched more than we know
in having really looked at even a single picture.” -Home Education, p. 309.
