Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is sure to delight young children with over 185 colorful illustrations and great Master paintings. Lessons capture each child's interests and imagination while introducing the fundamental principles of the visual arts. Parents read a simple ten-minute lesson with their child that includes art appreciation. The topic is pointed out in a full – color work of art by well-known Masters like Rivera, Chagall, De Hooch, Van Gogh and more. This time is followed with a project that allows children to immediately apply their new knowledge of the subject, while creating works of art from their own experiences and observations, making each piece produced personal and unique. The first section covers the activities artists engage in when making art (composing, imagining, looking, etc.,) how to use the materials of an artist (watercolor crayons, pastels, pencil), and the various types of subjects artists work from (landscapes, people, still-life, etc.) Activities broaden children’s awareness of the world they live in. The second section of the book covers the elements that artists use in two-dimensional and three-dimensional work such as shape, form, line, and color. The third section is a comprehensive study of ancient art as children are introduced to different kinds of art that we see such as art in caves, pyramids, cathedrals, and more. This section covers early cave paintings and figurines from Jordon to tapestries and book illumination of the Middle Ages. Children's ideas about art are greatly expanded as they learn how ancient cultures used art. The hands-on projects help them remember what materials the culture used or the major ideas of the culture. This book provides lessons for the completion of thirty-six finished drawings, paintings, and sculptures that are both original and wholly the child’s own. “The instruction is so well-suited to the book’s audience of kindergarten to 3rd graders. Mrs. Ellis uses a conversational style of writing that is so appealing to younger children, yet her curriculum never “talks down” to them nor does it go over their heads!” - Homeschool Parent – Jenny Thompson / Florida

Each element is fully covered through this process of learning and builds on the others through simple yet engaging lessons. Children find, to their delight, that they are asked to choose the subject they want to draw. This results in a meaningful works of art as children fully engage in the process. In this way, children create real works of art from the beginning to the end of the book, without boring practice routines or copying methods. Children watch their artistic skills improve and are encouraged by the works they produce. Children acquire skills in pencil drawing, scratch art, and markers.

The text is short and to the point and over 230 illustrations enhance visual understanding of the concepts. The content and conversational tone is perfectly suited to the age level. The book provides lessons for the completion of sixty-eight finished drawings that are both original and entirely the child’s own. “This curriculum works. It makes artists! My children are really learning to draw, not just copy someone else’s artwork, and to use their drawing in their daily lives. And it is so easy to use. ” Homeschool Parent – Nancy Gorman / Massachusetts

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Workshop for Children is not just another book of straightforward art projects. The book's unique child-led approach provides a framework for cultivating creative thinking and encourages the wonder that comes when children are allowed to freely explore the creative process and their materials. As children work through these open-ended workshops, adults are guided on how to be facilitators who provide questions, encourage deep thinking, and help spark an excitement for discovery. Children explore basic materials and workshops that use minimal supplies, and then gradually add new materials to fill the art cabinets as well as new skills and more complex workshops. Most workshops are suitable to preschool-aged children, and each contains ideas for explorations and new twists to engage older or more experienced artists. Interspersed throughout are sidebar essays that introduce perspectives on mess-making, imperfection, the role of adult, collaborative art, and thoughts on the Reggio Emilia method, a self-guided teaching philosophy. These pieces underscore the value of art-making with children, and support the parent/teacher/care-giver on how to successfully lead, question, and navigate their children through the workshops to result in the fullest experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ideas that help students understand why modern art looks so different from earlier works and guides them to create meaningful art from their own experiences and ideas. Focus is given to those artworks and movements that had great influence on our culture. The artists featured give positive and creative messages in their art making this a tasteful introduction to modern art that is perfect for young students. This book is a continuation of the art history section of Artistic Pursuits Early Elementary K-3, Book Two, Stories of Artists and Their Art, and it can be used independently. Parents simply read the text, while engaging their child in the discussion questions provided beside the Master works by Degas, Monet, and others. Children use traditional methods for creating sculptures: modeling, carving, and construction, as well as modern techniques: assemblages and land art. Tasteful works are introduced in discussions of movements like Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and Expressionism. Rather than mimicking images, a practice with little content, children learn about the ideas that caused modern art to thrive and make pictures that explore those ideas as they relate to the child. The author includes a helpful section for parents explaining the larger context of modernism so that parents are enabled to judge modern art for themselves and can guide their children through the maze of modern images and motives. This book provides lessons for the completion of twenty-four finished two-dimensional works on paper and twelve three-dimensional sculptures that are original and wholly the child’s own. “I love the artwork that has resulted from using this book! This is not baby stuff. (I’m) proud to display everything they create while studying art with ARTistic Pursuits.” Homeschool Parent – Heather Randall / Oklahoma “This book does a phenomenal job of combining art appreciation, artist study, art exploration, and history, all in an easy to understand and teach way. The lessons are short and to the point, but pack a punch and we love them!” - Homeschool Parent - Tiffany Manley / Alabama
