CariS Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm wondering if there is an inexpensive curriculum that combines art history with learning the corresponding techniques/medium the artists used? Thank you! Cari DD (9)FLL 3, SotW, MUS, Sequential Spelling, Cursive DS (6)FLL 1, SotW, MUS, Printing ws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Artistic Pursuits comes to mind, but it isn't super-inexpensive :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Twain Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Artistic Pursuits comes to mind, but it isn't super-inexpensive :). I agree with the above. However, Artisitic Pursuits as well as all of the supplies for the program cost a lot less than art classes, so it may be "inexpensive" comparatively.

usetoschool Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Not sure about your criteria for inexpensive but we use Meet the Masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Meet the Masters is on sale right now for 50% off this month through hsbc: https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/index.php?option=com_hsbc_epp_order&Itemid=936 I bought this because I'm a moron when it comes to art history and have made several false starts, so I wanted guaranteed success this time around. (Ambleside Online = ugh; this term's artist is Delacroix, who I'd never even heard of...) I figure I can supplement Meet the Masters, but right now, it looks thorough enough for our needs, with enough interaction to keep the kids interested.

SEGway Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We use Scott Foresman Art. The textbooks can be found for @ $5 on Amazon. The books are colorful, introduce lots of artists, and different types of mediums. The activities are easy to do, and I really do have most of the materials at home. FTR we used Artistic Pursuits our 1st year hsing. My dc (and me!) much prefer Scott Foresman. eta: I have grades 1-5 in my closet, so if you have questions, I can try to answer. Does this include both art history and instruction in a similar way to Artistic Pursuits? Is it pretty open and go? (I really like the Amazon price!) What makes you prefer it to AP? ETA: Is it worth the extra $ for the teacher's editions? What do they add to the program? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We love Meet the Masters. If you click on the links in my sig, you'll see where I talk about our days with both Meet the Masters and Artistic Pursuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
