Where do I start? Young children should start in Art for Children, Volume 1, where 18 lessons cover the first semester as children complete one art lesson each week. With a good grasp of words that we commonly use in art, they can go other courses in this 8 book set (sequentially through history or skip to any period of their choice.)

What do I get? You get a physical hardcover book with DVD's and Blu-ray disks and you can add LIFETIME ACCESS TO THE STREAMED COURSE (login sent to your email address)

Vol. 1: Art for Children, Building a Visual Vocabulary

This beginning art course for kindergarten and early elementary students is the starting point for a delightful adventure in art. Your child is introduced to the vocabulary of art in innovative ways that produce clear understanding. Topics include the things artists do (compose, imagine, observe, communicate) and the elements we see (shapes, form, and texture) as well as the types of subjects we draw and paint (landscapes, still life, animals, figures, and portraits.) Prompted by the text, your child participates in exploring these ideas in their own world, becoming more visually aware of the world they live in. With awareness, those objects and observations begin to appear in their artwork. Your child begins to tell their own story, revealing their ideas, interests, and experiences like a true artist. Video lessons engage your child's curiosity about the art materials they use, as they absorb new information about painting with watercolor crayons, proper handling of the brush, drawing in oil pastels, and learning to cut and fold paper to make collage and standing forms. 18 lessons with art projects. Take a look inside!
