I love this! Thank you for sharing… I love your approach to family education (I’m an art history major turned attorney turned homeschool mom so the intersections between art and political revolutions are really interesting to me). Have your found any books on women artists (picture books?) from this time? I probably can’t do a French Revolution study with my two and four year old…

Hi! An art history major turned attorney turned homeschool mom... can we be friends?! Unfortunately, I have not found any good picture books on women artists from the time. Maybe one day when the kids are older we'll need to write some... 2 and 4 is probably a little young, but no reason you can't learn about it on your own! 😁
