Classical History Of Art

Description

This Memoria Press Art History course takes the student through more than 5,000 years of art history over 12 lessons with instructional videos. Chapters include Prehistoric, Egyptian, Aegean, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Medieval, Gothic, Renaissance, Reformation/Counter-Reformation, Revolutionary, and Modern.

The Student Book features interesting historical content about each culture and time period. This includes a discussion of regional materials used, such as minerals that were made into paint. Color photos and helpful timelines make the content even more engaging.

The helpful Teacher Guide provides possible answers to the discussion questions plus chapter tests and two comprehensive tests.

Flashcards are required as an art reference. There are 80 cards (5” x 7”) with a color image on the front and lines for writing on the back.

Join author Kyle Janke in the Online Instructional Videos as he explores the key works of each time period, with a particular focus on Greek sculpture, Gothic cathedrals, and the Renaissance. There is some nudity that is thoughtfully addressed as portraying Classical beauty.

CHASET is our convenient package that includes all 4 components listed above.

This could be stretched into a semester with additional reading for high school credit. Or consider adding art instruction to make this a full-year high school art credit. ~Sara
