How to View and Use the Featured Works in Option One
The featured works listed in Option One are all linked to internet websites where you can view the
paintings online. The links are also listed along with the options so if you print out the pages, you can
still manually type in the web address for the paintings.
To view a featured work, sometimes you will need to look for the specific artist and then click the
particular painting you are looking to view. Most images you can click to enlarge them for a better
viewing size.
You can right click on the painting with your mouse and copy it to your desktop to print it out. In most
cases, it is permissible to download one copy for study purposes.
Each featured work will be viewed for one week. The goal of picture study will be to view the painting
for one week and then at the end of the week, to have your child narrate back all the details he can
recall about the painting.
