Publisher's Description of Artpac 4
Artpac 4 | Art curriculum includes instruction in the following art skills:
• Shading to help things look more three dimensional • Converting stick figures to more complete drawings • Illustrating a small booklet • Tracing • Grid drawing • Making greeting cards • Perspective drawing • Free hand drawing, beginning with simple shapes and adding detail
Artpacs: appealing, easy to use, and inexpensive. We have used several levels in our school and they do an excellent job teaching coloring, shading techniques, elementary drawing, painting (mixing and technique, basic composition principles, and lettering (calligraphy). Using common supplies like crayons, glue, paints, and scissors and with detailed and clear directions, preparation time is about nil. Our children have really enjoyed these projects. In their new format, teacher instructions are included right in each pac. Each child will need their own Artpac. Pages are not reproducible.
We have enjoyed other levels of this program, but level 3 had a lot of crayon coloring, cheesy projects, and things that most 8- 9-year-old kids, especially boys, won't be interested in! My 9yo daughter has used a few of the projects, but not many. I will buy the next level next year because my 6th grader and 9th grader (doing the 8th-grade book) have enjoyed theirs this year.
For reference, I am a professional artist. But I'm not that great at teaching my kids art, and there are so many junky, expensive, or overly complicated art programs out there. Art With a Purpose gives bite-size skills in a pretty painless way for even reluctant artists. Doing a couple or even just 1 per week is a great way to develop some foundational skills without spending too much time, money, or energy. Most kids, I think, will naturally use the skills to draw or create other projects, but even if they don't they are gaining skill in drawing and shading.
Just, level 3 has a lot of fluff.
