Homeschooling

Question: Art curriculum centered around history?

I want to add an art curriculum into our homeschool days. We love history, and would like to find something fairly simple (beginner) that would go along with our history curriculum. 2nd grader will be studying, "...from the founding of Jamestown through the War for Independence - and includes colonial farming, shopkeeping, and clothing." So I'm looking for something from that era, and also something for 4th graders who will be studying "...from late 1700s to early 1900s - immigration, evangelists and missionaries, inventions, the Industrial Revolution, and economics as well as the Boer War and Boxer Rebellion."

Thanks in advance for any suggestions that might work for us!!

Answer: K12 interweaves their history and art and we love it. We've done five levels of each so far, and are 30-50% through our sixth set of courses.

Here is their scope & sequence page:

Just pull up the art ones and see which correlates to your studies. It sounds like you want mostly American History, correct? If so, then Intermediate Art A&B are what you'd want. We're doing A now, and it correlates to History, using the History of US books by Joy Hakim.

K12's art is not "arts & crafts". It's *real* art, modeled after great artists. Plus, you study architecture and furniture design along with the artist bios, art history, and methods.
