This has been a wonderful addition to our homeschool. My children love this and proudly display their works of art on their walls. That has NEvER happened before. They really look forward to this each week even though they were dreading it when I first told them what we were doing this year. They were very pleasantly surprised. Thank you!

This program came highly recommended to me by several friends. After using it, I now recommend it to others. We have been doing the Kindergarten and 3rd grade DVDs, but own all of them. My kids love them. Many techniques are taught through the different lessons. The lessons are short and easy to understand. It is an excellent program!

My 3rd and 5th graders love home art studio. We have art together on Thursdays. We've sculpted, painted, drawn, cut and glued! Since I have boys in two different grades, I chose to start with 3rd grade, but my 5th grader is challenged just as much as my 3rd grader so it works fine!

I love Home Art Studio 1 & 5. The lessons are short, active, and easy to do. The only thing I would like to see is a paper detailing the supplies needed for each lesson. As it is, I have to watch the lesson and then pull supplies. However, it's definitely a keeper and I will be using it for other grades as well.

My kids love to watch the video and do the projects. My 5yo always wants to do it as "she" did it. My only cons are that I wish there was a supply list so that I don't have to go back to the DVD and I can prep while the kids watch. I would also like a breakdown of the projects listed on the back of the DVD so that I don't have to insert it first. I haven't had time to look online for these lists.

My three oldest kids love this program! Ages 9, 7, and 6 are going through the K set first, and then they will all do the 2nd grade set. The teacher is clear and the projects are fairly hands-off for me, which is a huge plus. I would definitely recommend this to other families.

We love this program and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a fun art project each week. My daughters can't wait to see what the new art project will be each week!

We love doing art with Home Art Studio. I am not an artist myself so this takes ALL the stress out of teaching art. We have done K and 1st grade videos. Just ordered 2nd grade one. I will say that if you have a true budding artist, you may want something to use in addition to this. I would still recommend using Home Art Studio because it keeps art fun and interesting. But if you want them to improve technique in anything specific like drawing or water colors, etc, then I would also get something else to do in between the Home Art Studio lessons...(more)

My 5 and 7 year old daughters absolutely love our "Fun Day Monday" when we use the Home Art Studio - watch the DVD lesson and do the project. It is so nice to be able to expose my children to a variety of age-appropriate art media and projects without me having to do the hard work of putting together my own program. Lindsey Volin is fun to watch, friendly, encouraging, and often adds background information including art history and art techniques. I appreciate the pdf lesson plans that are included on the discs. I have purchased K-5. We have go...(more)

My children have loved HomeArtStudio. I purchased all of the grade levels and intended to use the grade levels appropriate for each child, but the beginning of this year was a little more challenging than I anticipated. I asked my fifth grader to be patient with me and please do the second grade lessons with his sister. Six weeks later I asked if he felt like the projects were too young for him, he said, "No, I'm having fun and I like that our projects are the same, but have our different styles. If it's easier for you I will do second grade ...(more)
