This unit is going to be special, focusing not only on painters and composers but introducing your children to the broad world of artistic expression: pastry chefs and interior designers, graphic design and poetry, authors and dancers, and so much more! We will be exploring the world of Shakespeare and C.S. Lewis, studying comics (such as Calvin and Hobbes, my kids' favorite), making our own quill pens, designing our own shoes, redesigning a room in our house, designing cakes, baking new things, and so much more! God is infused in this book as the author of creativity and this unit is truly one of the most special ones we have made. You don't want to miss Artists!
What to buy? You will need to purchase a physical workbook for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil bound.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
