Students will learn about the origins of major art movements, examine famous works, and experiment with techniques that defined each era. Every class includes a short educational lesson followed by guided creative time where students bring the style of that week’s period to life.

This course is designed to be both educational and engaging, helping homeschool students connect art with history, culture, and creative expression.
