Atelier
Online Art Curriculum has video-based art lessons, the next best thing to having an art
teacher in your home! Choose from 8 levels, each with 20 streamed online lessons
and a Parent/Teacher Manual you can download and print. Students learn
art history, art appreciation, and art production with a flexible schedule for
your family.
There are two
versions of the online programs, Complete
Levels and Enriched Levels. Online Complete includes
instructional videos and the teacher manual. Online Enriched also
includes the Great Masters Virtual Museum, an art appreciation and art
history supplement. This virtual museum contains 90 artworks along with
discussion guides for each artwork. Online access is for 18 months
from time of course activation.
Actual
materials used are specified for each lesson, so you don't have to guess about
what size paper to use or which colors of paint you'll need. The art concepts
and related projects are introduced by the art teacher, often followed by a
short "warm-up" which gives the student a little experience using the
chosen medium and lets them focus on a simple exercise. The art project is then
introduced and discussed. Students see the progression of the project in the
video, as the art teacher demonstrates parts of it and children in a classroom
work on it. Each lesson features examples of completed works from other
students at that age level, which is encouraging and inspiring. In fact, you may
well want to pick up your own paintbrush and get started right away!
Please
note that this is not an immediate download. Following purchase, you will
receive access information for the online course in 1-2 business days.
