When It Comes To Learning Art: Hearing
Is Good, Seeing Is Better, But Doing Is The Best…
It Only Makes Sense To Combine All 3 In An Art Curriculum
– MeetTheMasters @Home Does!
  Step 1: CD-Rom Introduction to Master Artists: This interactive session contains audio clips of the master artist's themselves, period music, and fun review games with Pierre (our friendly French companion), all designed to capture the attention and imagination of home schooled children.
For example: Students listen and choose which music piece best corresponds with Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie Woogie".
 Step 2: Art Technique Packets: Your students will learn to implement the art principles that correspond with the artist they have just been introduced to.
For example: Vincent van Gogh loved to show texture in his paintings. In Starry Night he used exaggerated brush strokes and globs of paint to show texture and movement within the work. Where most of us think of texture as something we touch or feel with our hands, Van Gogh wanted us to SEE rather than FEEL texture.
Step 3: Create
a Masterpiece Art Activity: Your students will use the
techniques and styles of the masters to create their very
own masterpieces using our step-by-step instructions. Throughout
the course of the year the children develop their own unique
artist style and art portfolio! For Example: With chalk pastels,
students create portraits of women and children wearing various
period hats.
