Homeschool art education doesn’t have to make you nervous! ARTistic Pursuits has a full range of easy-to-use art lessons available for all grades that will help your students develop the knowledge and skill to find their creative voices through art.
Each of their products is available as either a Hardcover book with DVD/BluRay—a great choice for non-consumable, unlimited use—or Online Streaming with 2-year access to the 18-week course. The online option is available immediately with access to the digital flipbook (identical to the hardcover copy), which includes thumbnails for easy navigation & note-taking capabilities and additional tips and videos to help students and teachers.
