Volume 2- Art of the Ancients

This art course is an insightful look at ancient art history, from art found in caves to the classical art of the Roman Empire. Children will take a look at Near Eastern figures and relief carvings, Minoan fresco painting, Etruscan and Egyptian wall painting, Greek pillars and pottery, as well as the many methods for making art in Rome. As your child creates and responds to art of the ancient cultures, they learn that there are many ways to see the world and are empowered to make choices and express ideas in new ways. Pastels and clay are introduced in 6 video lessons, as children expand their art experience through brilliantly colored pastel works and air-dry clay sculptures in low relief, pottery, and figures.  18 lessons with projects. 

Cultures in order: European Caves, Near Eastern (Jericho), Minoan, Egyptian (2 lessons), Near Eastern (Mesopotamia), Greek (2 lessons), Etruscan, Roman (5 lessons).
