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. 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!

"I have never been so sold out on a curriculum in the 15 years I have been homeschooling...Artistic Pursuits is the first art program I have ever used that required no effort on my part to get my children to participate. AP involves the kids in the creative process and gives them choices in every lesson, so there is a constant state of interest and anticipation built right from the very first lesson...And just in case you missed my enthusiasm, I think EVERY home school should have Artistic Pursuits as part of their curriculum. It IS that good." - Heidi Shaw/ Canada, Homeschool parent and product reviewer for The Old Schoolhouse magazine
