My oldest daughter spends a lot of time honing her art skills, and recently we have been using the Artistic Pursuits High School 9-12 Book One Art Curriculum from Artistic Pursuits. If you are looking for an in-depth art course that combines technique and art history, then you definitely want to read our review!
What Is Artistic Pursuits Homeschool Art Curriculum?
Artistic Pursuits provides a complete fine arts program with art instruction, art history, and art projects. The only thing you need to purchase separately is the art supplies to complete the projects. Artistic Pursuits has programs from elementary all through high school. For students in lower levels, a parent may need to give some assistance. For the high school art courses, the work can be done independently.
In addition to the courses available on their website, you can also find free video lessons for beginning drawing students at https://artisticpursuits.
What We Like About Artistic Pursuits
We take art pretty seriously in our household. Maybe it has to do with the fact that my father-in-law was a fabulous artist and former art professor at Lock Haven University. We have artwork all over our house, and we started art courses with all three kids at an early age.
My older daughter not only loves to draw, but she loves history, especially art history. I thought this would be a great course for her because it combines some of her favorite things.
In My Daughter’s Words
Here is what my daughter had to say about the Artistic Pursuits High School 9-12 Homeschool Art Curriculum:
Artistic Pursuits is a great art program. It has helped my art a bit, especially with prospective. I love that it teaches elements of art, the difference between mediums, what different pencils are used for, and much more! Overall it’s really nice, and i will continue to use it.
Sissy wants to get better at different types of drawing. The lessons definitely give her ways to learn and improve. Here is one of the drawings she did for the course:
