Has anyone use Mark Kistler's Art Program?

My 7, going on 8, yo ds loves these art lessons. He is a natural athlete that has always been ahead of his friends when it comes to gross motor, balance, bike, etc. But fine motor doesn’t come as easy to him. I was concerned that his drawings still resembled preschool age, typically, and looked for something fun and engaging that he would willingly do. I found this to fit the bill. I have seen gradual improvement (very gradual since we’re not very regular with the lessons) and he will occasionally state having learned how to draw a certain shape or shading from an art lessons when we’re doing, say, science. I still want to do something like Drawing with Children with him, but neeeded something in the meantime to build some confidence on his part. Lack of confidence has a big impact on his willingness to even attempt something. For fun and light art lessons to get the feet wet, I would highly recommend it.

We’ve used his online art program (on & off) for a couple years now. We started it with our middle son who was 8 at the time. I don’t think he would have done well with it any younger than 8. It is very enjoyabe, however, and there are lots of art lessons to choose from!
