Art curriculum for preschool/K?

[Osmosis Mom]

Preferably something that comes with supplies as well...

Have you looked at Barry Stebbing? We use and love his stuff. How Great Thou Art!

We love Preschool Art by Maryann Kohl. Absolutely fabulous. Even our older girls want to participate in these open-ended art projects, covering everything from drawing to construction.

We are also really like How Great Thou Art.

 

If you don't mind gathering supplies, Artistic Pursuit's preschool book, The Way They See It, is great. You probably have all the needed supplies anyway. They keep it simple for that age and suggest you don't buy anything expensive. I used it for my oldest when he was in K along with my next boy and we had a great time exploring art together. Now that he's older and has enough FMS development, we're using I Can Do All Things from How Great Thou Art to learn some fundamentals.

I just finished reading The Way They See It (published by Artisitic Pursuits). It has great ideas and advice for raising creative children. However, it seemed very similar to the books by Susan Striker (of Anti-Coloring Book fame) like Please Touch and Young At Art: Teaching Toddlers Self-Expression, Problem-Solving Skills, and An Appreciation for Art (just without Susan Striker's strident tone!). Young At Art is still in print (and your local library may have it) and is much cheaper than The Way They See It.
