hs03842 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Has anyone found or made a good curriculum for teaching your kids how to draw the world from memory? I’d like one to use just as a family—not attached to a co-op. Edited June 23, 2020 by JoyKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I have heard good things about Mapping the World with Art by Ellen J McHenry (ages 11-16) and Visualize World Geography 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Love, love, love Ellen J. McHenry's curriculum. I took her ideas and put them into my own curriculum design for my Ancient class and my Middle Age class. Students who took both with me are graduating this year and still have their drawings. (including my own dd) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I actually watched and completed Ellen's videos and tailored her lessons to fit my curriculum and then made up my own following her format. Later, I did a drawing the US class with lots of Native American history added to it. I needed the class to be 55 minutes long so I just practiced to make sure that worked for me. I used her anatomy curriculum - also a lot of drawing. I was able to complete those videos in the time she allowed; sometimes a bit faster, sometimes slower. She is an excellent instructor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) We've had amazing success with the Draw Europe book mentioned above. Unfortunately, there is not one for every region in the world, so we are switching to freehandmaps.com for the next part we want to draw. ETA See below. But freehandmaps.com does still look like a good resource as well. Edited June 24, 2020 by Monica_in_Switzerland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted that I liked the Draw Europe but couldn't find any other books in there series. Thanks to you mentioning the author, I've now found them all. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah0000 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/031271/ArtK12-Draw-the-World.html? We use that. There's a whole series and its focus is solely drawing a map by memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
