Hunter Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) This is a complete art curriculum grades 1-8. It teaches everything step by step. Of special note, crayon drawing is taught in grades 1-3 as a form of painting with pages and pages of exercises using just 8 colors. See links below to see what was meant by a "crayon", before reading our initial misunderstanding of "crayons". Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 EDIT: added Amy Jo's link.

Hunter Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Unfortunately, some countries cannot download from Google. There are some Augsburg books at Archive.com, but most of these ones are not there. I have been waiting, not so patiently, for Google to fix their system, so I could download these. Figuring out how to download the pdfs, can be tricky if you are new to Google Books. Look for a drop down menu, in the upper right hand corner. For those people outside the USA, these really are amazing. See if a friend can burn them to CD for you. I'm going to have to learn how to do that, because I have an overseas friend that I would really like to send these to. I have NEVER seen an art curriculum I like this much, for ANY price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very good, but the NEW grades 1-3 are better than the old book 1. Book Two, is the same book I linked to at Google. I have not been able to find the NEW books 4-8. If anyone does find them free, or for purchase, please provide a link. I think a lot of us would be interested.

Hunter Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 I have the feeling we are going to be hearing a LOT about Augsburg for a long time to come :-) Ten years from now, we can be the ones to say, yes, I was one of the first ones to start using it way back in 2012 :-) And I have some more goodies that I know about. I'm just waiting a few days to spread the surprises out a bit. This is the best one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these - Book 1 and 2 - for grades 3 and 4? For the OLD version Book 1 covers grades 1-3. For the NEW version, there is an individual book for each of grades 1-8. So far we have only found grades 1-3. Book 2--not grade 2--is the old version and for grades 4-8. No matter what age the child, I'd start with grade 1. That is where I am starting myself.

8filltheheart Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hunter, Thank you for posting the links to these books. I am getting the 4th-8th grade one printed and bound for use w/my girls. THey were reading through it online this morning and are both excited about using it. (We have numerous other drawing books, but this one actually goes so into so much more detail and depth.) Thanks!

THey were reading through it online this morning and are both excited about using it. (We have numerous other drawing books, but this one actually goes so into so much more detail and depth.) Thanks! I'm so happy to help and share :-) I e-mailed a copy of grade 1 to Hannah and didn't get an error message, so...am hoping it went through. I'm going to have to e-mail pdfs from another computer though. My little netbook is full, and when I sent the pdf, my computer almost shut down on me. Removing a few files and restarting it seemed to remedy the situation, but I need to be a bit descriminating about what I ask the little baby to do. So I can take more requests now. I think I'm set up to be sent e-mails, rather than just PMs. If I am, people can send me e-mail requests for ebooks and I'll do my best to send them to you.
