Your Art Curriculum for the High School Student, with 68 lessons.
Your child is ready to Own it! The art you see is sophisticated as your high schooler focuses on personal interests through one of three means; reworking the creation of symbols (imaginative artworks); developing narrative themes (subject-focused artworks); or solving visual problems using the elements of art and principles of design (realistic artworks).
While others teach art by having the student copy one way of drawing a tree or a face, we teach a PROCESS for making art that extends to any subject that they choose. Students learn a series of actions or steps to achieve their drawing goals. These actions are based on each element of art.
These ARTistic Pursuits resources are designed specifically for your High Schooler's MATURE Stage of Development. We provide learning opportunities with art class objectives that fit your high schooler's needs as a growing artist and expand their visual experiences. Your child will gain the artistic skills they desire. They will learn how to look at famous artists' works, understand the role of European art in history, practice the elements and principles of art in creative ways, and produce artworks in drawing and painting that showcase their unique interests, ideas, and experiences.

Build a strong foundation in drawing with ARTistic Pursuits, The Elements of Art and Composition, High School Book One, a comprehensive, hands-on art curriculum designed for high school students. Through clear instruction, engaging art appreciation lessons, and practical exercises, students learn to see the world like an artist while developing essential skills in pencil and charcoal drawing. Each of 16 units focuses on an element of art and design, exploring the topic in four ways to strengthen understanding and encourage creative thinking. Students investigate foundational concepts such as space, line, texture, and value while learning how artists use these elements to create compelling compositions.
Art appreciation lessons introduce students to influential European masters, including Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer, Raphael, and Tintoretto. By studying works from Western art history, students see how artists apply the elements of art and gain insight into artistic movements and the creative process. Rather than copying examples, students learn new concepts, observe the world around them, choose the subjects they want to draw, and apply their knowledge to make original artwork. With 68 finished drawings in pencil and charcoal, this full-credit high school art course encourages students to develop technical ability, sharpen observation skills, and build confidence in their artistic decisions.
Each completed work is an original creation that reflects the student's own ideas and interpretation. Ideal for homeschool families and independent learners, this curriculum provides a thorough introduction to foundational principles of art, preparing students for future endeavors.
