Classical Approach to Art History Part VI Masters of Animals & Birds
For a student who loves to draw animals, this course is so interesting and informative. From basic skills to finishing touches, your artist will develop and grow as he or she travels through a variety of artistic periods. Some of the artists include Murillo, Mauve, Bonheur, Palizzi, Jacque, Ansdell and many more. Correlations between sheep in art and the Lamb of God abound. Art principles include perspective, life studies, tone, contrast, and even color theory. Students use the consumable art cards to practice skills as they work through the lessons. The black and white Guide has 69pp. Included are 9 consumable art lesson cards for students to practice their art skills, plus 10 color photo cards of period art work. Many projects are completed with colored pencils (occasionally adding a black drawing pen.) ~Sara
This is the 6th in our seven part series, An Introduction to Art History/A Classical Approach. In this text we will learn about great animal artists along with introducing some of the great bird and wild fowl artists, especially throughout the 17th, 18th & 19th centuries. Periods and styles will be discussed such as the Victorian Era, French Neo-classicism, the School of Barbizon and Impressionism. Programs include daily art lessons along with a set of full color Masterpiece cards, all packaged attractively together in shrink wrapping. Lesson Cards and Masterpieces are 3 hole punched for ease in creating the child's art history portfolio.
Materials needed for program: set of 12 colored pencils, brush, set of 8 water soluble markers, and a fine black drawing pen.
Subtitled A Classical Approach to Art, this series, directed to elementary and middle school students, pulls content from Barry Stebbing's four-year God and the History of Art course; reordering into different segments and adjusting lessons for a younger audience. Instruction is both classical and godly, and its user-friendly format will convince you that "I can do this." Courses are called Parts, which are each a full year's instruction in art history, art appreciation, and art projects. These can be done in any order allowing for coordination with other subjects and would be easy to adapt to a group or co-op setting. We currently have Parts I, II, and IV, expecting more by the end of the year. Courses include a Teacher's Guide with 36 detailed but brief lessons and quizzes plus sets of art lesson cards, and art masterpieces which are three-hole punched. You will need one set of these cards for each student. Art supplies, surprisingly few and simple, are the same for each course.
Lessons, found in the spiral-bound Teacher's Guide, include background information, examination of art time-periods or specific artists plus specific techniques. These lessons refer to the Masterpieces cards which are full-color reproductions of classic art pieces. The Art Lesson Cards provide the art project instruction that parallels the history and appreciation portion of the lessons as well as the space for completing those art projects. These are heavy-weight cardstock suitable for many types of art media. ~ Janice
