Getting Started with Our Homeschool Elementary Art Lessons
Elementary Art lessons are designed for use by students across multiple elementary ages. Each homeschool art unit focuses on a different area of art. The first unit is “Twelve Great Artists,” a twelve-week study of the masters. Additional elementary art lessons include “Lessons in Self-Portraits” and “Advent Art.” An interactive option for lesson delivery breaks up content and helps young homeschool students focus on important concepts, terms, and art project instructions.
Twelve Great Artists explores a famous artist each week. These elementary art lessons include 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 art students can imitate the artist and create art in unique and memorable ways by following the instructions provided in each lesson.
Lessons in Self-Portraits is a series of five fun elementary art lessons that examine hair, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and eyebrows! This series of homeschool art lessons guides kids through creating five different self-portraits—some a bit serious and some very silly.
Advent Art is a series of ten elementary art lessons all themed around the coming of Jesus. Each homeschool art project can be completed with ordinary craft supplies. This is a great way to talk about the meaning of Jesus’ birth with young learners.
