I mean we are working through Drawing With Children, so the practical side is covered, but I wanted to do a little art appreciation as well. This books sounds perfect.

I've been waiting forever to finally click that magic button. LOL<br /><br />For fine arts we do artist studies and composer studies. This year I'm trying to be more purposeful about them. (This is why that book is my cart. LOL) We attend the ballet at least once a year and a couple of plays at our local theater. For actual art we use I Can Do All Things by How Great Thou Art. I love this program. It's so easy for a non-artsy person like me to use. We do it together. This year we're also using How to Teach Children Art by Evan-Moor.<br /><br />All of these has been difficult since the appearance of our tot. I'm hoping we're finally over the hump and she's going to be more cooperative so we can get more accomplished.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286011831882699289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830748451146807697.post-58919539222157805682010-07-29T19:49:16.968-04:002010-07-29T19:49:16.968-04:00We foind that book at a garage sale for .50 the ot...We foind that book at a garage sale for .50 the other day.

I loved writing it! It changed my life... until then, I hadn't known too much about artists, and really found out they are fascinating plus kids love doing art in the styles of the great masters. I now have added "Great American Artists for Kids" and it's in full color. Both of these books are on my website at my 25th Anniversary Sale Price, which includes shipping and tax. It's only good through July 31, so if you want a fast and cheap copy, hurry to my website. <br /> http://www.brightring.com/Books.html<br /><br />I'm so happy that people love giving their children the chance to explore and discover their creativity through art. <br /><br />MaryAnn Kohl, art author<br /><br />PS I have a new blog, if you'd like to visit...<br /> maryannfkohl.typepad.com/blog/MaryAnn F.
