butterfly113 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Has anyone used this? Appropriate for high school level? If not, anything out there for high school level? 1 Quote
jjeepa Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Bump. I'm curious about this too. Hope someone responds! Quote
OhioMomof3 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I used Meet the Masters with my daughter and others (K-2). The program is marketed as having three teaching levels, with the 3rd being for ages 10 and up. In my humble opinion, I do not think it is worth high school credit. Quote
Tranquility7 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I have done the middle level with my elementary students. We love MtM and have done almost all of the artists in the program. However, I would agree with PP that it is not at all a high school level course. The content is good, just very basic. For a high schooler I'd be more apt to look up Sister Wendy's history of art videos on YouTube or something similar. Quote

OhioMomof3 Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Oops...the last one was supposed to be: God and the History of Art. Quote
Kathleen. Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 It's for free for the summer right now at homeschoolbuyerscoop.com if you want to test it out. Quote
Love_to_Read Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 I saw one the other day called Short Lessons in Art History that I really liked. I hate to list that title...sounds like we're doing subpar to seek out short lessons, but I thought it was just the right amount of information paired with relevant art projects on a high school level.

Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) We did Meet the Masters 7 years ago and it was a basic survey of art history (based on the artists you choose). We really enjoyed it, especially producing works of art similar to the artist being studied. I think it could be considered as an elective 1/2 credit or a full credit (if you add a research paper or 2 on one of the featured artists). You could also have your student (s) write summaries featuring each artist's style, mediums, and artistic movement. We studied one artist per week, watching the video and discussing the artist on Tuesday and doing the artistic project on Friday. We also incorporated some geography into it as well (studying the artists area of origin). (btw, I was an art history major in college) Edited August 18, 2016 by Camy-7 boybarians 1 lady Quote
