If you've been searching for an art curriculum to teach the basic art principles, Evan-Moor's How to Teach Art to Children may be just what you're looking for. I'd been searching through expensive art curriculum in despair when I found it, I've have been delighted. The price was just right too. It's perfect for a homeschool art curriculum. The book is a sturdy 160 pg soft back, in full color.

Part One covers all seven of the Art elements. Each element is covered in a lesson or a few lessons, and then there is a worksheet or activity. Each element is illustrated by full color examples. These are very well thought out and original. The worksheets are reproducible for your classroom, so the homeschool need only buy one book.

Part Two of the book focuses on 24 artists or cultures and how the art elements are used by the artists. There is a total of 96 art projects in the book.

This book is perfect for the homeschool Mom who has little art training. Whilst it won't teach your child to draw, you can relax, knowing that you have introduced your child to the fundmentals. Recommended from Grades 1-6 by publisher, I think Grades 3 up would benefit more.
