History of Art Set

Hester VanBraeden — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 03:45:53 +0000

Two great works of art are on nearly all of the 32 flashcards along with information about each art movement studied. This full-color workbook contains comprehension questions, crafts, activities, readings, and features on artists of the faith—both historical and contemporary. Fully integrated with the Veritas History Series (yet able to stand on its own), this art history program was designed to fill one year. It could also be stretched out from 2^nd through 6^th, to enjoy several cards at a time. Or it might be used as a transitional program in 7^th, since it spans all of Western history.
