Good morning, welcome to our Homeschool Resources: Art Class & Career Planning. Take a look at the websites and let me know if you have used them or not. If so what did you like or dislike about the resources and why?
Your Homeschool students will learn art by studying great masters like Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Degas, Rembrandt, and many more! Meet The Masters uses a 3-Steps-to-Success learning approach: introduce the masters, discover the technique, and, finally, create their own art with a fun project.
