This review is from: Art Adventures at Home 1 : A Curriculum Guide for Home Schools (Paperback)
This book offers a complete and thorough curriculum for art. Yet the projects are easy to use and the supplies simple to aquire. The instructions are detailed and offer all you need to know and more. The range of art principles, media, and experience is varied and incompass all a child needs. This book could be used by art experienced and inexperienced teachers and parents alike.

This review is from: Art Adventures at Home 1 : A Curriculum Guide for Home Schools (Paperback)
We used this book for one year of homeschooling, but opted for lessons at the art museum during the second. My sons produced finer work and learned more with Soyke, so I'm returning to the book for next year. Each volume offers a complete art curriculum for three years, and has a materials list in the front of the book. It is a pleasure to use! I most like that it teaches art principles without stifling children's innate creativity. It promotes exploration as a good teacher would.

This review is from: Art Adventures at Home 1 : A Curriculum Guide for Home Schools (Paperback)
I have been homeschooling for several years and so far have only ever used this art curriculum. I just love it and so do my children. It covers a wide variety of art mediums, yet at the same time is so simple to use and most of the materials needed can be readily found at home. I am amazed at what my girls have been producing during these lessons. I highly recommend this book and will continue to use the other Art Adventures at Home books that follow on from this one, once we have finished.
