Oh how I love Memoria Press Art Cards! While I suppose one could look up the suggested art piece, the Memoria Press Art Cards are fabulous. 8×5″ cardstock, we had ours laminated at a teachers’ store and I keep them in a zipper bag. I’ve shown them to the local resident artist and art teacher and she agreed they were well chosen and splendid. There are so many different levels of how you can cover art and especially Art Recitation (Tuesday mornings in the Lesson Plans) but for us we flip through the cards of past weeks and my daughter tells me the title of the piece and occasionally the artist. If it is a medium other than painting she recites that as well. Once again the Kindergarten Enrichment Guide takes it that much further with biographies and details. While not craft heavy as was Junior Kindergarten, I enjoy more of this gentle art appreciate stance. This continues in Memoria Press First Grade Art Cards. I hope this will be something they continue to add to curriculum packages in future years with the next grade levels.
I have written several long series posts on Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten, First, and Second grades of Memoria Press in more depth: http://creativemadnessmama.com/blog/2015/01/30/memoria-press-kinder-review-4/

We love the Memoria Press Art Cards! They are beautiful selections from many different art genres and we study one each week with our 2nd grade MP Curriculum. My 2nd grader has been learning the titles and authors’s names for fun since kindergarten, and can even sort them into the correct time period they were painted just by looking through and comparing them.
