Mark Kistler's Mini Marshmallow drawing lessons got my 7 yr old excited about drawing again! The lessons are short, but entertaining, and I love that they include art concepts like horizon lines, perspective, and shading. Even my 4 yr old joins in sometimes. I am excited about moving on to the other levels of the year's subscription package we purchased during this coming year. Thank you for getting my son excited about drawing again. He has a natural talent but had got into a rut, got discouraged, and I didn't know how to get him out. Yay (lit...(more)

We have wanted to purchase this program for several years after seeing another family's success with it. After only a few weeks with the exercises, I see huge improvement in his drawing skills. He does the lessons eagerly and enjoys them greatly. He loves the fun and playful spirit of the presentation and drawings. He has also taken what he learned in the guided lessons and has drawn several things on his own to great success. This is a wonderful program and we are so glad we purchased it! Highly recommended.
My family loves Mr. Kistler's teaching style. We first found him on our local PBS channel and started recording his show for our art class. The one thing that we really missed when we turned off our satellite TV was Mr. Kistler's art class, so I was very excited when I saw this on the Co-op. We got our subscription up and running last week and my kids have already done several of the lessons. I started my almost 4 year old son off on the mini marshmallow run. When I first introduced it he told me he couldn't draw and was crying. I asked him to...(more)

My DD is fascinated with these drawing lessons. I can't believe the quality of the drawings she is producing. She is having a blast and learning to draw. You can't get better than that.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter and she loves it. It's amazing how quickly she learns with these videos! Another added bonus--she frequently chooses this over video games during free time. I'm even going to try some videos myself--never too old to learn something new!

Love it, love it, LOVE IT! My son, 11yo, had recently shown an interest in drawing/sketching, but I have zero artistic ability! So I purchased this program for him. I could not believe how quickly he learned, and how good his drawings were - from the very first one! It's been fun to watch him take the concepts he's learned and apply them to drawing something that he just thinks up, too! So thankful this was available!

My 10-year-old LOVES Mark Kistler's Art lessons! I have tried various other art programs and she has never been excited about any of them and she hasn't really learned much from them either. Since we've started Mark Kistler's Art she always looks forward to her drawing time. Her latest saying is "As Mark Kistler would say, Pencil Power!".
I have also seen a marked improvement in her drawing in the past month since she has been using this program and I am looking forward to seeing continued improvement in and enthusiasm for art in our homesc...(more)

Mark Kistler has significantly increased the interest and skill in drawing for both of my twin boys. When given free time they both ask to go to the art lessons and have learned more about shading, depth and composition. My son feels that it is the "best thing ever" and tells everyone about it.

Mark-Kistler's art classes are awesome! My son can't wait to draw every day and actually looks forward to it on the weekend when it's the only class he chooses to do. I love leaving my son's drawings out so that friends and family that stop by can see just how good he has gotten in such a short period of time. It's not only easy, he enjoys seeing our faces when he shows us his finished work. WOW! What a sense of accomplishment! I can't thank you enough. I will continue to recommend it to my homeschooling friends. It has really been one of the "...(more)

My kids have always loved drawing, but with these lessons, they have been able to take it to a whole other level. I have a budding cartoonist, and I think this is one of the most valuable products we've ever used.
