art history – Little Learner and Mom

Disclosure: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

We are no strangers to ARTistic Pursuits we have used and reviewed Vol 1 and Vol 2. This year when the crew was offered to review ARTistic Pursuits I decided I would love to add to our collections and review K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age.

This year in our home school we have put a heavy concentration on art appreciation. We have studied a wide range of artist and their techniques. We haven’t yet had the opportunity to study modern art in-depth, the K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age would be a nice way to start that introduction. K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age is a non-consumable book (DVD/Blue Ray) or online stream for 2 years access. K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age comes with 18 lessons of artist study that give you and the child a step-by-step guide about the artist and how to complete the artwork. I really like the ability to have my son log in on his own so he can do his lessons. The online stream is a huge plus for older students because they can choose what best interests them. The supply list is simple and we had all the supplies on hand.

K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age includes artist study includes:

O’Keefe
Cezanne
Seurat
Kandinsky
Van Gogh
Picasso
Modigliani and a few more artists.

My son decided to do inspired art from Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) Lesson 11 the focus was abstract art. My son loves abstract art because it allows him to be free to create. He really enjoyed the artist’s background information and enjoyed studying the picture. This lesson was great for him on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age is a nice introduction to modern age art, while we did see art pieces that had diverse images it would have to be an added plus to see culturally diverse artists included in K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age as well. I encourage ARTistic Pursuits to also look at these artists as well.

If you are looking for Modern Art study or art curriculum for your budding artist K-3 Vol. 7 Art of the Modern Age from ARTistic Pursuits would be a great choice. I highly encourage you to also check out the other crew reviews on other levels or explore the other levels on the ARTistic Pursuits website.

Now that we are in the full swing of our new homeschool year I realized that there is one subject area I was lacking. I have struggled with how to add art education to our homeschool but HiGASFY Art History Video Series made it possible to add this subject to my son’s course work! My son is just beginning to like to color and do more art related activities so when the Review Crew was offered the opportunity to review the HiGASFY Art History Video Series I jumped at the opportunity.

We decided to study the Post Impressionist time period, because my son has not had a lot exposure I wanted to pick a time period he was most familiar with to study. I decided he wanted to study Vincent Van Goh. We check out books from the library and studied several pieces of his art work that is included in the curriculum bundle. For this review we used both the HiGASFY Art History Video Series and the curriculum bundle.

The HiGASFY Art History Video Series is a wonderful component to this program Mrs Beth and HiGASFY take the children on a wonderful art lesson of the artist and their art work. The children become fully emerge into the artistic time period. Mrs Beth gives the students artist background and she visually goes over the artist artworks in the video. She includes history and geography lessons as well in the videos. I really appreciated this part in the video series because it made the lessons more personal. I personally don’t know a lot about art and how to present it so this series was a huge weight off my shoulders. My son really enjoyed the videos because they were fun and Mrs. Beth was friendly and he like HiGASFY

The curriculum bundle is really nice, because it is a full lesson plan completely laid out. Each plan lays out objective, suggested activities, critical thinking, vocabulary, writing, geography and science. The curriculum bundle also includes flash cards, game assessments and TEKS for those who are in the Texas area.

The HiGASFY program offers student 4 different art periods to study:

Renaissance
Baroque
Impressionist
Post Impressionist

Each time period features 3 artist from that time period such as Monet, Vincent Van Goh, Matisse and Picasso just to name a few. The target grade of 1st- 8th grade with 16 weeks of fun filled art lessons. Parents and educators can buy the DVD set or they can purchase the online option. The video series concluding the curriculum bundle is affordable and starts at $15 a month for 9 students or less.

We really enjoyed HiGASFY Art History Video Series it really helped us kick our art lesson into gear. Be sure to check out the other Crew Reviews on HiGASFY Art History Video Series by clicking the banner below.
