See the Light Art Projects {Mosaic Review}



see the light logo

  I love to color, paint, play with play dough, going to art museums and the likes.  Maybe because I am a mom, who knows.  However, I don’t know a lot about paintings, artists or anything of the like. I am not that great at drawing either.  I classify myself in the category of people who can’t draw a straight line WITH a ruler!  Smile  I was intrigued when I was given the opportunity to review See The Light Art Projects by Mosaic Reviews.  Anything that teaches art to someone like me has to be beneficial, right? 

This set of 9 DVDs was created by Master Artist Pat Knepley and would be a great addition to your homeschool or co-op.  DSC_0113Mrs Knepley uses her soft voice and friendly personality to go thru the step by step lessons that your child is to be working on.   Each lesson in the set focuses on one particular artist like Winslow Homer or Georgia O’Keeffe and includes history about the artist and their work as well as definition to clarify the techniques.  I received Peaceful Seas which is one of the DVDs in the set.  It uses water colors and focuses on Winslow Homer.   What all did I get from this? 

Biblical reverences?

    Of course!  I loved how with in each lesson the Bible was referenced.  Art is an reflection of God’s beauty.  The world and everything in it was created to his images and likenesses.  Mrs Knepley opens up her bible and incorporates a short verse or story to help remind us of this with each lesson.
   
                             Adaptable?

             To use with the  elementary aged kids use the video lessons and project time.  To switch it up for the middle school aged kiddos you can add a trip or two to a museum or an artist report.  For the older high school kids you would incorporate the artist report as well as the museum tours.
                                                                          
            Can I use this for high school credits in my state?

      You can use this curriculum in ANY State!  In order to count as an art credit you must have 60 hours of instruction.  The Art Project program provides 70.5 hours!  When you add the museum trips and reports you are adding the additional class time to meet the 120 hours to satisfy your credit requirements.
                                                                        
                    What else do they offer?

    As well as the 9 art project program they also offer Art Class which is a 9 volume art class that provides progressing, hands on tools to learn everything from basic art skills to advanced techniques.  You can also check out their online resources.

                  What is all this going to cost?

You can purchase each art lesson for $14.99 or they have bundled together all 9 lessons for only $99.00!
