Art Techniques taught by Brenda Ellis on SchoolhouseTeachers.com provides step-by-step art lessons in many different mediums for the upper elementary through high school student. The lessons need to be followed in order for each project, but projects can be done in whatever order interests the student. Each student can start with the medium they are most interested in, whether it is pencils, charcoal, oil pastels, watercolors, or others. Each month’s lesson is a self-contained unit that takes the student from the beginning of the art project, the line drawing, through each step until they are finishing the details of their project. A student can earn one-quarter credit of high school Drawing and Painting in a Fine Arts course by completing one full year of 48 weekly lessons of this course. As always, please check your own state’s academic requirements.
Jan Bower of Drawing Success provides weekly video demonstrations with step-by-step instructions for students on SchoolhouseTeachers.com who want to develop or improve their drawing skills. Showing the how-tos of creating realistic drawings, these four-lesson units/projects will give students an opportunity to draw a variety of objects, each with a different texture, using pencil, charcoal, and colored pencil. Students will experience the joy of producing superb results with minimal supplies. Each unit is a stand-alone project, though the four weekly lessons should be done in order for the unit(s) chosen. A student can earn one-quarter credit by completing one full year of lessons. As always, please check your own state’s academic requirements.
Elementary Art is a series of units designed for various elementary ages. Each unit focuses on a different area of art. The first unit is “Twelve Great Artists,” a twelve-week study of the masters. Other units under development and consideration include units for very young children on topics such as color theory, primary colors, etc.

Twelve Great Artists takes a look at a famous artist each week. It includes a brief biography of each artist, what type of medium/style made him/her famous, a suggested reading list, and information about some of the artist’s works. Elementary students can imitate the artist and create art in unique and memorable ways by following the instructions provided in each lesson.

SchoolhouseTeachers.com’s Everyday Easels presents art in the context of other subjects to help those students whose interest in art may only be piqued by understanding the story behind the art or by approaching the art from another direction entirely. There are 5-day and 10-day unit studies presented, and these can be further broken down to fit the student’s schedule. Everyday Easels begins each unit with a brief study of the art itself. Then, it approaches the art from different angles including history, vocabulary, geography, writing, Bible, and science. This course truly gives an overview of the art in many different areas, including hands-on activities to inspire students to become involved in the art and not simply be a spectator. Transcript information for the classes is given in detail on the Course Details tab, however, a .5 high school credit can be earned by following the transcript instructions given. As always, please check your own state’s academic requirements.
Studio Art for Teens on SchoolhouseTeachers.com presents middle school and high school students with art lessons based on the masters. The first fifteen lessons in the Studio Art for Teens class should be followed consecutively, if your student is new to the study of art, as they cover the basics of line, shape, texture, space, color, form, balance, etc. If your student has studied art previously, they can begin at any lesson, either reviewing the basics in the first fifteen lessons and then moving on to other lessons, or starting with lessons that follow the topic “Owls in Art and Literature.” Beginning here, each lesson is self-contained and can be studied in any order, as they incorporate the skills that were studied in lessons one through fifteen. A minimum of sixteen lessons are required to earn one credit hour of high school art. If your student has studied art previously, the fifteen lessons can include a combination of any of the first fifteen lessons and the lessons that combine literature and art. If your student is new to the study of art, they will need to study the first fifteen lessons before moving on to any of the lessons combining literature and art.
