KarenNC Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Does anyone have a recommended order in which to do the lessons at the Mark Kistler Online Video Art Academy? I am pretty clueless when it comes to drawing (the reason I wanted a video instructor;)), and want to be sure my daughter gets the foundational lessons in addition to just exploring the site (though I definitely want to harness that enthusiasm). I am very pleased with what she's been able to do in just one afternoon. Our local library also has some of his books---is there a recommended order for those?

Tonia Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 :lurk5: I'm curious to know too. I've been looking at this for my dd and wondered if there was a recommended order to the lessons. So I'm bumping this back to the top! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 :lurk5: Wondering here, too. We bought the package offered by Homeschool Co-op. On the "School of Imagination" section of the site, the lessons are in an order, but there is no correspondence to the other online video lessons. I would love to be able to do the SoI lessons and then use other video lessons that reinforce that SoI lesson's concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 No reply at all. I will try emailing them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellycbr Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on which order for the lessons.:lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenS Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I don't think it matters. I've not tried the online lessons, but read his books as a kid (Draw Squad and Imagination Station) and really, you can do them in any order. The books' lessons build up in each book, but they all go back to one of his key words or ideas, and they are all step by step. I don't think his books have to be done in any particular order. I just pulled them out the other day to show to my first grader, and we did the first part of lesson one in Draw Squad. We had fun. :) We learned about foreshortened circles, and drew some cubes and cylinders (birthday cakes and tables and candles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2GirlsTX Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 A few weeks ago while on the site , I noticed it said somewhere that there is no particular order in which to do these lessons. I wish I could find it now, but I really did see it somewhere :confused: on one of the lessons or somewhere on the site. I can say that my kids are enjoying these lessons immensely.

Alana in Canada Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I've done a google search--it seems there are only four free on-line lessons? :confused: I think I may be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yes, but through homeschool buyers coop it was 40 dollars for a three year membership to see all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
