Ausmumof3 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We started using one of the Barry Stebbings art programs this year but we’re all hating it. It’s too hard for one kid, the religious bent is wrong from me and my other kid hates how it feels like it’s talking down to you. weve had artistic pursuits before but it was “ok” not - “yay we love doing art” good. I really want to find an art program that Is suitable with some modification for all my kids (7,9,12) Is affordable Has some drawing instruction Used different media for some lessons has a little bit of art history but not too much weve just done our own thing using good library books and video guides before but I’m really unmotivated this year and need something structured. weve really enjoyed the free stuff from deep sparkle space but the membership is too expensive for me at this stage.

Ellie Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Art With a Purpose? It has no art history, but it is pretty decent otherwise. Also inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying $140 for an online membership is a little more than we usually do. Although I probably would If I was 100 pc sure we’d use it but i like to have things for the long term. I’d buy the dvds but shopping cost to Aus is crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a laptop now so I should give it another go. Free is definitely a bonus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we’ll give that a try next week and see how that works. The kids are really really complaining about the Barry Stebbing programs more than I’m willing to deal with. I expect some complaining about math or grammar but art has always been enjoyable and pain free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
