It is available in a hardcover book with a DVD and BluRay disk. Or, we were able to access the Online Streaming for this 18 lesson course, a great option for taking it on the go.The Online Streaming Course gives 2 year, unlimited access - and is available immediately with a streamed flip book (identical to the hardcover copy), tumbnails & note-taking capabilities, and additional tips and videos to help navigate the course.
My family has loved these books, and not just my K-3 students - EVERYONE got involved with the projects! (yes, even my high schoolers)
The book gives you a materials list so you can be prepared. After that, my testers are able to work and create independently, which I love.
The lessons are short, only about 10 minutes each. You can easily complete 2 volumes over a year.
My testers love to pick and choose from the excellent projects. This volume includes a variety gouache painting techniques, as well as, carving, modeling, and constructing sculpture, and oil pastels.
Each lesson includes prep notes for the project, an introduction to the famous artist & a sample of their work to discuss, and the art project. The video lessons teach techniques and how to use the supplies.
Here's a peek at what they were creating -
They loved creating clay sculpture and learning about Degas, especially my almost 14 year old dancer!
They really had a fun time gathering some fruit, and pinecones to work on gouache techniques while learning about Renoir.
These are HIGH SCHOOL students - they loved getting involved and creating too!
We really love this series! It's made art instruction easy for me, and exciting for them. I highly recommend checking them out for yourself.
