Are you looking for a way to go deeper with art appreciation that’s sequential, relatable, and EASY?  Daily Art has got you covered!  This done-for-you, straight-to-your-inbox program combines the ease of Fine Art Pages with the power of video-based learning, all in a very simple format.

Presented in chronological order, your family will get to know famous artists (including women!) and their work thanks to carefully curated youtube videos that include:

• biographical information
• art analysis often taking place within famous museums around the world
• historical perspective
• coordinating art projects when available
• and more!

These will come to you in weekday emails.  View it on your phone, tablet, or computer.  All you have to do is click over to youtube to watch and learn!

Additionally, during each artist study you’ll also have coordinating Fine Art Pages to display in your home. US residents can choose to purchase a printed and shipped-to-you bundle of Fine Art Pages after you register, and those with non-US addresses will receive the PDF files so you can print at home or locally.

For those of you that want to take your artist study even farther, you’ll have access to our special Bonus materials that will make it easy for you to expand your studies for more learning, or even for your high schooler to earn art appreciation credit!

If you are studying the Renaissance, European history, or the Protestant Reformation this year, you will find that this is an excellent additional resource to enhance what you’re learning.

Donatello
Van Eyck
Masaccio

Daily Art Renaissance Bonus: Penmanship & Copywork
Learning about an artist and seeing their work is an interesting and often insightful journey.  Getting to hear their voice in our minds as we read their own comments and insights about art adds another valuable layer and helps bring the actual personhood of the artist to life.

Thought there are just a few artists with recorded comments about art from the Renaissance time period, I believe we can learn and gain insight and appreciation from the quotes that we have gathered here.  The comments about the interconnectedness of other forms of art and learning are especially apt for homeschool families.

This collection of quotes from Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Durer, and Michelangelo are presented in four different formats in this PDF download:  Print practice, Cursive practice, D’Nealian Manuscript Practice, or copywork.  

Included as a FREE BONUS with your enrollment in Daily Art: Renaissance!

Frequently Asked Questions

What age group is the Daily Art Appreciation useful for? I think kids that are perhaps 8 and older will get the most out of Daily Art, but we do have families with 2 and 3 years olds that are loving the program. There are some videos that are geared toward younger children, and then a lot that upper elementary, middle school, and high school will appreciate. That being said, each age can get their own level of good out of the program, and I think families with a mix of ages will find that you can adapt it pretty well for your children.  The bonus Artist Study Notebook also has great resources that can work for all ages!

How is nudity handled in this program?  I aim to keep the nudity to a minimum, while also staying true to the subject matter. Sensual nudity is avoided.  Classical form nudity is sometimes included.  Parents are given advance warning with time stamps for videos that include nudity so they can preview and determine appropriateness for your own family. Some time periods have more nudity than others (Renaissance, for instance) so please read individual descriptions for more information.

Where do the videos come from?  YouTube video content has been curated by Enrichment Studies owner Erica Johns, with an eye on quality and value of content as well as appropriateness and value for homeschool families.

How long are the videos each day? Most of the videos are around 4-5 minutes, with some occasionally being more like 8 minutes or longer.  I let you know in each email how long the videos are, so you can plan accordingly.

Are these Fine Art Pages the same as other collections I might have already purchased from you? 

For Renaissance and Baroque & Dutch Golden Age:This is a newly improved and updated collection.  It has some of the same content as sets that have been available before.  However, I have swapped out many pieces of art to better represent the artist and coordinate with the Daily Art program.  I have also increased the image size on the pages for better viewing, and made a few other improvements.

For Rococo, Neoclassical, and Impressionism this is all new art that has not been sold in any other sets.
