Does anyone use Artistic Pursuits? I was considering it for my 4th grader who has a definite Artistic bent...and a momma who has no time to devote to winging it in this area?

I bought the first book in the kindergarten series last fall and worked through most of it with my children, from preschooler to eleven year old. I also did the lessons myself along with them. I think the program is family friendly and very thorough. Aside from buying the art materials, there is virtually no preparation invloved with each lesson. I bought all the materials at the beginning of the year to avoid having to run out for each lesson.

I learned a lot as did my children. I think it is quite a lovely program.

Artistic Pursuit is a WONDERFUL program and spans many years of schooling ... the author and her husband are both artists and homeschool their kids. I love her books and the fact you can buy packs of supplies that you'll need (with plenty left over) is GREAT.

Definitely worth it for your 4th grader!
