We WUV history. And we WUV art. But we really have never
done a great job putting all of those together with in one subject…other than
doing brief artist studies. We recently had a chance to review a product that
does exactly all of that. It is called The Master and His Apprentices: Art History from a Christian Perspective and The Masters and His Apprentices.
Received the Digital versions of both the Digital Edition of
the Textbook and Teacher Guide: The Master and His Apprentices: Art History
from a Christian Perspective and the Teacher Guide. We also received the PRINT/PHOTOCOPY
RIGHTS for our household.
This course is intended for adults who want to enjoy reading
a great art appreciation book. Or you can use it for your High School Students
for a FULL CREDIT Art History Course. You can use it with your younger kiddos as
a supplement.
As a momma of a High School Student who is looking for High
school credits I wanted to check it out to see if it would be something that
could be used for our Fall Semester. Plus, I wanted to give Josiah a sneak peek
of what that semester might hold.
You can purchase all of a hardcover copy of the Textbook and
a softcover copy of the Teacher’s Guide if you like to have those on hand. You
can print off the textbook from the Digital Files (that I received) or simply
use your computer to read the lessons….which is what I did. The PRINT/PHOTOCOPY RIGHTS gives us the
permission to copy off as many copies as I need to from the Teacher Guide.
This curriculum is written from a Biblical Worldview. As
such, there are no nudes or secular humanist ideologies covered. It’s basically
PG.
If you choose to use Art History as a curriculum, you will
average about a lesson a week. This will give the student plenty of opportunity
to take his or her time through the lessons. There are some really thought
provoking studies here. We loved reading about art through the lens of history.
The curriculum includes the following:
·
Weekly Worksheets (self-study) / Discussion
Questions (class settings)
·
(4) Exams
·
Instructions for (4) Papers
·
Grading Chart
·
Answer Key for Exams and Worksheets
·
And more.
.
I found the whole thing so beautifully done AND it is all done for me. High School Credit in the bag! The lessons are fascinating and kept our attention. On a side note, the author is a homeschool graduate and speaks "our language." This is a curriculum that is compatible with all kinds of homeschool educational styles...includes ours. Which is "use what we like and use what works."
I don't generally talk about price when I write my reviews. After all, every homeschool family has a different budget and different needs. However, I think this is a very reasonable curriculum for the quality and amount of material you receive. The hardcover Textbook is a bit more, but textbooks generally are. And I can imagine that it is a thing of beauty.
This one's a keeper! It's definitely going on the schedule in the Fall.
