This is our second year using Meet the Masters for our Art/Art History classes. We really enjoy this unique program. First, it gives you an art history lesson on a famous artist, then you learn special techniques and terms related to that artist, and finally, you create an art project based on the techniques you learned. All of the instructions are laid out for you. Our family usually does the lesson and technique one class day and the art activity the next class day. I enjoy doing the projects with my children. We have purchased 4 modules so f...(more)

I had no interest in art while I was in school as a student. Meet the Masters has acquainted my family and me with the works of the Masters in a way that we can appreciate them. I have visited museums in Europe and actually known whose work I was viewing before reading the plaques describing the work. Beyond that, the techniques and mediums have been a lot of fun to use. I will continue to use this curriculum.

We have used this program for 1.5 years and are only halfway through the program. The kids and I have enjoyed it immensely, especially with its varieties of art techniques and resulting masterpieces. I have also enjoyed the relatively low supply cost required to complete each unit. The directions are clear and easy to follow with great scripting that makes it easy on me the teacher!

Fantastic curriculum.
I have a degree in Art History and have struggled for years to incorporate art and art history into our schooling. Each time I attempted my children were bored and uninterested...until I tried Meet the Masters.
Meet the Masters is a great curriculum that engages the student! The lessons have an art history lesson which is immediately followed with an art project. It is also incredibly easy to add a few extra facts in if you want. This curriculum is so wonderful that I now teach a weekly homeschool co-op class of 26...(more)

Over the summer we had the opportunity to learn about a few of the Greatest Artists who ever lived though the Meet the Master's program. I enjoyed the short, concise lesson that I could target to both my PreK art interested daughter and my 3rd grade hates art son. My son actually enjoyed learning about the elements of art while my daughter had fun doing the art.

My two teens couldn't wait to show off their first project to their grandparents who were very impressed.

I have always felt that art appreciation was an important thing in life and I hoped desperately that Meet the Masters would be a great fit for our homeschool. We chose to work with the Level 2 program with our boys ages 7, 9, and 14. They all LOVE the program! Even my 7yr old ADHD son sat and watched the video about Van Gogh on Day 1 AND was later able to recall details about what he learned. This is the most amazing program and I highly recommend it to everyone. You don't have to be "artsy" or have any knowledge of the masters to use this...(more)

I have been wanting to try this out with my kids for ages. When I saw it on sale I couldn't wait to get it. My kids are 6 and 8 and they love it. We just finished learning about Picasso and now we'll take a trip to the museum to see his paintings up close. The worksheet activities and projects from the same level were enjoyable for both my kids. We have all learned so much about techniques and history of the artists.
My kids both attend school but they are not learning about artists and how to create art inspired by these artists. ...(more)

I have found Meet-the-Masters easy to follow and implement and have been impressed with the quality of instruction. My family looks forward to learning different aspects of each studied artists' life, technique, and style.

I know nothing about art, and this program, even the 5-7 age level, lets me learn right along with my kids. We are all picking up so much. The new techniques it teaches aren't particularly hard, but they let us explore different media that we might not otherwise. We like this program very much!
