Art Curriculum

There are some subjects that I can’t teach and one of them is art. I don’t see the perspective of an object, I can’t pick out variations of color, and I can barely draw stick figures. (It’s true! My junior high students will confirm this claim.)

I saw this deal today and thought that you might like some help with this topic of study like I do. The great thing about this curriculum is that it is on a DVD and it has demonstrations and final projects for you and your student(s) to see. I think it is awful when I am not feeling confident in my own abilities and then I have to try and read and interpret the directions in order to teach the lesson.  Notice that if you purchase it now you save 60%. I like that!

  1. Thanks Lisa! I will look into this! I love tutorials that help motivate and teach the kids. Sometimes it is nice to take the pressure off of me and supplement with DVD’s.

  2. I have looked at other websites to see if I could find a review of someone who has used it. Have you actually used it? I always like to check reviews of others first because if others like it, I probably will too. Thanks for the link..

    • Hi Daneale,
      I only know one homeschool mom who had used this series. She said her daughter liked using the DVD’s and I believe her daughter was 8 or 9 years old. I hope that helps. 🙂
