astralweaver Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I have a 10 year old fifth grader and an 8 year old third grader. I’d like to combine them for the first year of Artistic Pursuits 4-5. We have not done any AP before and my younger daughter requested more art this year. I really only want to choose one level and see if it works for us and I’m totally uninterested in tying this in with our history. Can anyone foresee a potential problem with my third grader using the higher level set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've used all 3 K-3 books and both elementary books with my kids grouped together (all ages K-6) and I've never had a problem. The younger books were fine for the older kids and the older books were fine for the younger kids. I just adjusted my expectations of what the finished product should look like. I was using the books only resource, not the new video based courses. Hope you have a fun year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Day Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 In case it’s helpful: my then-5th grader found the first 4-5 book really dry after doing the K-3 ones. It’s all about drawing/line. He missed using different techniques and colour. We’re trying it again this year (6th and 4th Grade) but will alternate with book 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astralweaver Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks. We have not done any of the K-3 ones. Actually, we haven’t done any formal art at all besides picture study. So she won’t have anything else to compare it to. I do like the variety aspect though, so I may go ahead and get book two. Thanks for your input!
