Styles of Art in History
$179.00 for 1 year
The Styles of Art in History projects are a unique and new approach to learning about art in history. Most art history programs focus on learning about the life of the artist in that period. This program will teach students how to create projects that are similar to those created in that time period.
For example, the first lesson in the Post-Impressionism project introduces that period by briefly describing and illustrating some of the artwork of Van Gogh. Sharon then quickly transitions into teaching the student how to create a Van Gogh-style painting. Sharon’s goal is to make art history come alive by creating! Students who have done a Post-Impressionism project
The projects have varying levels of difficulty. So young students (ages 6 – 9) can complete some of the projects, while older students should be able to complete all of them. The project descriptions will help in determining which projects are right for each student.
