Home School Art Studio Program DVD with Lindsey Volin 5th Grade

I teach art to my two granddaughters (grades 1 and 4) who are home schooled. Both the 7-year old and the 9-year old can do most of these projects. The lessons are sequential, and build on each other, so don't skip. The lessons on dark and light values can be used as a basis for a lifetime of art. Some of the lessons are so good I don't want my granddaughters to know they are not my original ideas, so they will think grandmother is AWESOME. The speaker is simple and direct, well-organized with materials at the ready and photographed clearly . Because of instructions to fill in the white space completely with their markers, I believe she knows children of this age. She makes my job easier by including comments about being thorough.
