Disclosure: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.
We are always looking for new ways to add art to our homeschooling days, so we were very excited to review the Art History Program from Creating a Masterpiece.
It includes numerous art projects to choose from with step-by-step instructions from Sharon Hofer.

You can find art projects by the skill levels: Core Beginners Level, Core level 1, Core level 2, Core level 3, Core level 4, Core level 5, Beginning Drawing 1, Beginning Drawing 2, Drawing Level 1, Drawing Level 2, Drawing Level 3, Drawing Level 4, Drawing Level 5, Drawing Level 6, Styles of Art in History, Historically Themed Projects, Exploring the Art of Yesterday, and Capstone Program!
As you can see there are lots of projects to choose from. We chose our art projects in the Core Beginners Level and Core Level 1.
Each project includes a list of supplies needed as well as which colors will be used. This makes the setup simple and it’s always a great idea to be prepared. I would hate to be in the middle of a project and lacking a much-needed tool. There are convenient links to where you can purchase your supplies. Sharon Hofer, like most artists, suggests purchasing good quality materials and supplies so that your masterpiece will have the best outcome.
We had a great time making this African Sunset painting using watercolor.
We decided to do a project as a group and just to show you the age range you can see my 2-year-old attempting to follow along with my help, my 5-year-old daughter, and my grandmother. With the ability to pause the videos and the built-in breaks we were able to complete the project together without stress or being rushed.
This is such a great art program for any age and skill level. If you are looking looking for an art class for school or fun, I suggest checking this one out. There is a sample project on the website if you want to give one a try. Read more reviews from other families by clicking HERE!
Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
