Am I able to purchase the set of exploring great artists books? Are they available as hard copies or only download?
Thanks
Nikki
Hi Nicole. You can buy one, two or the whole set, as you prefer. They are only available as a download, however they are delivered as a pdf download which means you can opt to print one, several or all the pages yourself – or simply read on screen.
What age is this for?
Hi Tracy. The projects are best suited to 5 – 10 year olds, but can also be done with 3-4 years olds.
How long does each lesson take to complete?
Hi Sarah. It would depend on how much time the kids want to spend on it, but I’d say an hour is enough time to plan for as long as you’re prepped and set up.
It looks like from the descriptions that some of the same artists are covered in multiple units-O’Keeffe, Matisse, and Picasso. Is this correct?
Hi Rachel. Yes, that’s correct. The artists covered in each unit are as listed above.
So they are the same artists, but different projects?
Yes, that’s right Rachel. The artists may appear twice, but the linked art projects are different – based on different art works/ using different materials.
thank you for the clarification! 🙂
¿es posible obtenerlo en español? gracias
Lola, siento que es sólo en Inglés.
Saludos Estas lecciones las tienes para estudiantes de mayor edad, más de 12 años ?
Si! Que son las mejores para los niños de 5 a 10 años, pero hay mucho que explorar para niños mayores tambien.

Hi Ina. This is only available as a digital product, but it’s delivered as a pdf document so you have the option to print some or all of the pages if you want to.
Hello is it $35 USD?
I am in Australia
Hi Kate. Yes the listed price is in US$.
It seems like volume 1 and 3 have a lot of crossovers, are there different project ideas when there is repetition?
Hi Corrie. Yes: the famous artists may be featured more than once but all the lessons are different projects. The lists for each volume give details of the different projects.
Are all lessons complete with sample pictures in color?
Yes Mayra, they are all in full colour.
Hi, I am brand new to teaching art. I teach the whole school, from grade 1 to grade 10, do you think these lessons can be adapted for older students? because I really dont think they know much about artists, we live in Asia and sometimes that side of education gets neglected. I think all my students could benefit from these lessons.
Hi Valeria. Yes, I think these lessons will work very well for you. I agree that older students can get so much benefit from creative education and these lessons will give you a program to follow that will introduce them to a wide range of artists and techniques, and encourage them to explore their own creativity and develop their skills.
