Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.
When we learn to understand art, we deepen our appreciation of beauty, culture, history, and the human experience. In this homeschool art appreciation curriculum, your family will explore the world of art together. Using this teacher guide, your student will gain the skills to recognize the works of famous artists, speak thoughtfully about art, and discover their own unique creative abilities.
Our homeschool art appreciation guide offers a comprehensive, engaging program for students from 5th grade to high school. This flexible guide introduces children to the rich world of art history and visual culture, featuring carefully curated lessons on famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, and Georgia O’Keeffe, as well as lesser-known artistic pioneers from around the world.
With detailed lesson plans, hands-on projects, and guided art observation, this guide helps students develop critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of visual expression. Designed for homeschool families, the art appreciation guide combines storytelling, historical context, and visual analysis to make learning both inspiring and educational. Dozens of optional art activities are included to help students apply what they learn and express their own creativity.
The guide also explores major artistic movements and styles, helping students connect key elements like color, line, texture, and form to the work of great artists across different time periods. Whether your child is new to art or looking to expand their knowledge, this guide provides a meaningful foundation in art history and creative exploration.
Perfect for homeschool settings, this art appreciation guide fosters a love of art while offering a structured, easy-to-follow approach for parents and teachers. Each lesson builds students’ confidence and artistic vocabulary while encouraging a lifelong appreciation for creativity and beauty.
