Laboroflove Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 We just bought Handle on the Arts Time Traveler 1. They have a chronological fine arts program to study art, music, drama, and architecture. I thought others might be interested. It looks like a fabulous addition to any history program. Thought I would pass it on for others who may have interest. http://www.handleonthearts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Mm. That is already on my list of things I'm sure I don't need but fully intend to have anyway! :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laboroflove Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 We will be part of a 6 girl co-op ranging in ages 4th-8th in the fall. I'll have a 4th and 6th grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osaubi Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I bought this used awhile back, and I am glad I made the purchase. We have only done one lesson, but I was impressed with the knowledge my kids took away from it. It looks like a fun curriculum to use for a co-op.

Brindee Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Seems rather expensive for it being only 1 semester. Am I looking at it wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Seems rather expensive for it being only 1 semester. Am I looking at it wrong? :iagree: But I don't see why it couldn't be spread out over a much longer period. I was considering do it that way. However, I guess if you are using it tying in to a particular curriculum that covers that time period in one semester then I guess that is not a good option.

Rosie_0801 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I guess I thought it would be a good thing to use to inject a bit of fun when life gets tedious. Sometimes that is worth paying for... Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osaubi Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I plan to spread it out over a longer period of time. There are 2- 3 lessons to do per week, and sometimes a larger activity at the end of a period of history. Honestly I have not found a program like this out there. It is not just a look at this picture and draw what you see, or just arts/crafts to go with the period in history. The sample doesn't do it justice.

woolybear Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I saw they also have a program called Mini Masters for $39.00. It is designed to be used over four weeks, but again, I don't see why it couldn't be stretched out longer. Also--anyone have any knowledge about the Apprentice Arts programs? They look good. Hmmm...all so tempting. Wooly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dina in Oklahoma Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thank you for sharing, this looks great! Dina :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma2Many66 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks for this, I am interested in purchasing this art program for next year. By the way, if anyone is interested, while browsing around on the site I found a free Leonardo da Vinci lap book download that was $10.00 and is now FREE. I just downloaded it (you just go through checkout and it is added to your cart and then the link is at the end of checkout). It is really nice, I just looked through it, my kids will love doing this lap book ! Thanks again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elinor Everywhere Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Mm. That is already on my list of things I'm sure I don't need but fully intend to have anyway! :) Rosie :lol::lol::lol: Exactly what I thought when I read the opening lines of the post. Sigh.

Laboroflove Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have to agree about the cost, but I felt it was worth it considering that I have 2 students and the broad range of subjects learned under the umbrella of fine arts. This is a weak area for me. We'll spread it out over a year, adding in scientists of the time period and other masters. The cost of the co-op is this program which makes it an inexpensive, year-long homeschool activity. Simply depends on the needs/priorities of each family.
