ARTistic Pursuits is a comprehensive art program designed to involve the student in the creative process while developing observational skills. A variety of fun applications teach both the expressive and technical aspects of art while allowing children to make choices about what and how they will draw, paint, and sculpt. Assignments work within the stages of artistic development of children and guide them to mature artistic expression in the visual arts. The books are non-consumable so one set serves your entire family.
Books at the K-3 level introduce Kindergarten, first, second, and third graders to the visual arts and view art through history. Colorful illustrations, art appreciation, and projects designed for young hands and minds delight students and appeal to their interests. 4-6 Grade, Junior High, and Senior High students learn technical skills while creating original works of art. Book One at each higher level provides an overview of drawing, covering the elements of art and composition. Book Two at each higher level provides an overview of color theory and composition.

Our co-op is using this as their art instruction method, and my children just LOVE it! It is very integrated and the student learns about an artist, method and gets to do a project that the lesson highlighted. As a Charlotte Mason-er, I love the fact that they are being exposed to real-world artist and examples of fine art as well as getting to produce their own unique creations. Even those who don't know how to teach art will enjoy and be able to succeed with this!
