Learn about the seven elements of art including lines, shapes, and colors, while observing artwork and nature all around you in this complete, easy-to-use, year-long program. The Artist's Journal contains the student's artistic workspace for writing, drawing, and more, all related to the teaching in the main text.
Living Art Lessons from Master Books is a simple program packed with instruction and insight into the basic elements of art. Your student will learn about eras and artists as well as artistic concepts. The author is the daughter of author Angela O’Dell, who was homeschooled, and wrote the lessons in a way that reflects both the beauty of nature and human art.
Students are taught to observe the world around them as they
look for and apply the 7 art elements - line, shapes, color, value, texture,
form, and space. As each element is introduced, a famous artist is also
studied, with the artist’s artwork used as an example of the concept. It’s very
well done with clear instructions and color photos showing the steps. The
variety of projects have originality, not necessarily what parents or teachers
would come up with on their own.
The Artist’s Book (140 pages) is non-consumable and has the instruction. The Artist’s Journal (101 pages) includes a 36-week lesson plan with grading record and loads of helpful worksheets for practicing techniques. Projects use mostly common art supplies, but mixed media paper, 90# or higher, 9” x 12” (suitable for wet/dry media) is required. Lessons are expected to take 30-45 minutes, twice a week. Pages may be reproduced within one family.
