Week 1: Read through the introduction of the art era.
Week 2: Read through the biographical info about one artist and complete a picture study.
Week 3: Complete a notebooking page about the highlighted style of art and a picture study.
Week 4: Complete a biographical notebooking page about the artist and a picture study.
Week 5: Complete an art project in the style of the artist.
Weeks 6-9: Repeat the previous four-week cycle with a different artist.
Weeks 10-13: Repeat the four-week cycle again with the final artist.
Weeks 14-16: Complete more art projects in the styles of the artists.
Since the lessons cover a wide variety of skills – like biographical reading, research, writing, picture study, and art – they are academically strong and you’ll feel good about the time spent.
Note that the Renaissance era was known for nudity in art. Not only were they attempting to revive ancient art (which included lots of nudity), there was a new interest in understanding anatomy in the fields of medicine and art. There are six images that show private parts in this curriculum. It would be very difficult for you to use the curriculum without also using the nude images.
