Description
Whether or not you're familiar with Pat Knepley's Art Class DVDs, anyone with a creative spirit or an interest in art is sure to enjoy Art Projects! Each DVD highlights one detailed art project which incorporates the style of a great master. Along the way, viewers are also exposed to art concepts like the "Rule of Thirds," color theory, line and shape, and much more. Each DVD is between 1-2 hours in length but is broken into several segments. However, the project itself will take about 3-4 hours for students (or anyone else following along) to complete. The projects are typically introduced with a good amount of biographical information on the featured artist, and at least one segment during the project is devoted to discussing art concepts. There are different art materials needed for each project, and these are detailed on the back of the DVDs (which you can find on our website) or at SeeTheLightShine.com. These are excellent, well-produced DVDs with excellent and interesting projects, and Pat is a terrific teacher. I would use these along with any art curriculum as a special emphasis or project, with an art appreciation program, or individually just for fun. These would also be great for a group or co-op setting! There is no particular order to completing the DVDs, but you can purchase a set (includes all of the titles except for Cartooning) at a discount. – Jess
