Curriculum: Fine Arts

Highhill Education has started a new Lesson-Planning Linkup and this week's topic is Music Curriculum and next week's is Art Curriculum. I decided to combine the two and post our Fine Arts plans. I often use the plans laid out at Ambleside Online as they are great plans already laid out for you. I add in some art technique and music theory and we have a plan. This year I may be adding in Drama (since that is what my BA degree is in.)

Art Technique

CP-complete-bundle


Art Activity with our study of Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo, 2011

Picture Study and Composer Study

Making our Own Paints with a lesson on Raphael Sanzio,  
Music Theory lesson, December 2008

Music Theory

I plan to make and use this music theory lapbook with the boys.

Drama


We might join a co-op, and if we do, I will be teaching a theater class, with perhaps a Christmas production.

Next post will be about our Handicrafts Curriculum.

    I have always said that I would love for Keilee to homeschool with you. You have the best lesson plans. You put so much work into your days. I used to spend so much time perusing the internet for things for Keilee but I don't do that so much anymore. It makes me sad. Great plans Phyllis!!!

    I need to look and see what types of artwork would be coming up historically for the Ancients, I have a general idea, but I wanted to start adding that in for the coming year.

    Your list of paintings got me thinking of that, just so you don't think the comment is completely out of the blue.

      I got the connection immediately. We did our art selections along with our history the last time around. We did cave paintings, a Sumerian headpiece, Jericho inspired clay pottery, Egyptian wall paintings, Assyrian Bas-Relief,Greek Amphoras, Etruscan Portraits, Sumi-e Painting, Roman Coins....that is all I can remember. If you need links to any of these, let me know.
