WHY ART LESSONS FROM
THE WHOLE PICTURE
ARE EFFECTIVE YET EASY TO USE
Art lessons are fully scripted by a professional artist -- even answers to student questions are provided!

Art concepts that cover required by National Visual Arts Standards are clearly marked

Art lessons are grade-interchangeable.  Many teachers will use the art lessons to supplement their own reading, history or math curriculum.  In fact, it's very common for a 5th grade teacher to use a Level 1 art lesson

Many of the lessons have 2-3 art projects to choose from - and are tailored for different grade levels

Step-by-step art project instructions are provided

Most art projects use materials commonly found at your school -- recuding costs

Small thumbnail photos are embedded in the art lesson script.  When you see the picture change -- change the Power Point slide.  It's that easy!
