Art with a Purpose
Simple, step-by-step lessons for children in grades 1-7. Includes 36 well planned lessons, with artsheets, directions, examples and a list of needed materials. It`s all ready to go and you don`t need to be an accomplished artist to teach it! What we have here is a wonderful art course from a Christian perspective. The illustrations in the activities are of a simpler lifestyle, perhaps Old Order Mennonite or Amish. It is suggested that each child have their own art pack. Since teacher has nothing to prepare for this course, get a pack for yourself and enjoy it along with your children! Remember--all artsheets are included!
Artistic Pursuits
The ARTistic Pursuits approach to teaching art is a welcome departure from typical art instruction books. This award winning homeschool art program meets the specific needs of homeschoolers at home. A variety of fun applications teach both the expressive and technical aspects of art while allowing children to make choices about what and how they will draw, paint, and sculpt. Assignments work within the stages of artistic development of children and guide them to mature artistic expression in the visual arts. Written for homeschool or independent study, these books are so student friendly that anyone, experienced or novice, will feel comfortable producing original and expressive works of art. Teachers easily adapt the books to the classroom. Using ARTistic Pursuits, parents and teachers know that students get a complete overview of the subject of art, written with order and clarity. ARTistic Pursuits reaches out to all children and young adults who want to learn, capturing their interests as they work from direct observation and personal preferences. Parents, teachers and students agree that this is the art curriculum they've been looking for!
