Volume 5- Art of the Northern Countries: Renaissance to Realism

In this art course your child discovers where the long-lasting tradition of Realism in Western art began as they create and respond to art of the Northern Countries of Europe. This book tells the stories of the Flemish masters and describes how they changed the way we look at nature, from Durer's tuft of grass, painted in 1503 to the great pastoral landscape painters of the 19th century: Turner, Millet, and Corot. Your child will immediately feel the excitement of those first printmakers as he rolls ink onto a plate of his own design and makes duplicate images! Video lessons engage your child's curiosity about the art materials they use, as they absorb new information on a variety of printmaking techniques, try resist painting with oil pastel and watercolor, draw with charcoal, and more. 18 lessons with projects. 

Master Artists: Bruegel, Durer, Rembrandt, Rubens, Cuyp, Van Huysum, Vermeer, Fragonard, Turner, Millet, and Corot.
