​

Themes:This course gives you the basics of the rise and decline of Western culture as described by Francis Schaeffer. It begins with the medieval period and goes to Monet and one Christian artist who is painting today. You'll hear about how worldview morphed from medieval to Renaissance to Revolutionary to post modern and then to Christian revival (tentative but hopeful).

​

Skills: drawing from a grid, shading with blending tools, portraits, the golden rectangle, pen (hatching and cross hatching, etc.) realism, romanticism, and impressionism painting techniques.

​

You do not need to purchase Marvelous to Behold for this class, but it does have extra reading that are related.

​

The book REFLECTIONS on ART HISTORY is very helpful because it contains source material to draw from. You can purchase it on this website in the SHOP or click on the image.

​

Each lesson has 3 videos:

     Part 1: slide show and talk about the history, the artist and the worldview

     Part 2: drawing or painting techniques demo

     Part 3: paint party style painting or drawing inspired by the art

 

The videos are for personal use only within your family (your own children and spouse) and not in a group setting or homeschool co-op. If you wish to use the videos in a group, each student should pay for the class.

 

Suggested use for Challenge II classes:

encourage your students to join this self-paced class at home and have them bring in their art on the discussion day or encourage them to do the full course Paint Your Way Through Art History and earn a full fine arts credit or college credit. Or, have each student pay the class fee and set a separate time to view the videos and paint together.​

​

​

All levels of art experience welcome! I'll give lots of ideas for all levels from copying the whole piece to just doing a small portion or doing an art journal-type composition of your thoughts and reactions to the art.
