Great! We have not yet gotten into Artistic Pursuits or any other art program. Now my 6 yo has developed an interest in drawing. My ds9 draws all.the.time. in his free time and studies paintings in books (observation) and draws them. He does quite well, but I wonder if he would do even better with learning new techniques from a drawing class. After reading back through that old post, I’ve been checking into See the Light Art Class dvds, but they are $100. They look good though. She encourages observation skills and picture study as well, from what I can tell by the previews. But I think Artistic Pursuits has its pros too.
I have Discovering Great Artists and it is nice for art projects, but not drawing instruction. It doesn’t hurt to check it out from your library. 🙂
