Great for a range of ages
Review by Rosemary
I have a 2nd grader (who loves art!) and a 4th grader. I am doing this Art program with them this year, and they are absolutely loving it! They are learning so much about the 7 elements of Art and look forward to it every week. Also, we are putting all of their "projects" in a sketch book with special paper. Then, we are going to take these projects out, display them around our house, have snacks and classical music playing in the background, invite the grandparents, and put on a full display of kid Art Gallery. My girls are SO excited about this idea. I hope some of you also consider it. Great way to celebrate the space/ability where your kids are right now! :-)
FUN!!!!

Makes teaching art so easy!!
Review by Elizabeth
This makes teaching art easy, and it’s a great addition to the student Artist Journal.
Great and open ended
Review by Carla
I actually got this for my kindergartener. She's very interested in art but doesn't want to be told exactly what to do. This book focuses on the 7 elements of art and it's working well because after we study an element she can do any artwork as long as she includes that element. It gives her a lot more freedom than giving her a technically and telling her what she has to paint. I also feel like we can just cycle back through this book since she will get better and can choose a different thing to paint or draw utilizing that element.
Best art programme!
Review by Yvette
This is the BEST art programme I have found yet! After homeschooling for 7 years and trying my hardest to find a program to help my children develop their art skills, I must say this one wins hands down! For ease of use with different ages and skill levels, this wins.
For lesson times, this wins.
For gently expanding skills, this wins.
Adaptable for an older student
Review by Kathleen
I am using the curriculum for a high school student. It looked like I could adapt it to use with him and it is going very well. The instruction is written to the student and is explained very well. My son is able to read the book himself and apply what he is learning. To adapt it for high school he is digging deeper into the artists studies. He is also experimenting with different techniques that are covered in the book. His favorite part of this curriculum is the real life pictures and how it tells you where you can find the types of art in real life.
Great overview of the elements
Review by Elisabeth
This course is a lot of fun. The readings are short and sweet, and the activities are engaging. My eight-year-old son asked to do this course, and it wasn't long before my three other children were asking to join in. Now, we are doing it as a family. The supplies are also easy to find (most of them we already have in our art cupboards), which I am thankful for!
Great extra!
Review by Lillie
