Looking for art plans to study more Ancient Art?
I have written plans to study more ancient art: prehistoric, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman. These plans are offered through Harmony Fine Arts and are in ebook format. They are written for middle school age children but my high school age son is also getting lots of great experience out of using them in his homeschooling. Email me if you have any questions about the plans and if they would be a good fit for your family.- Ancient Art and the Orchestra from Harmony Fine Arts
- Learn more about the plans and how you can purchase them to use in your homeschool. $17.44 for a complete year's plan put down on paper for you. Email me if you have any questions.
Egyptian Art-Book Used in Harmony Fine Arts
Grade Five
Ancient Egyptian Art (Art in History)
Amazon Price: $4.71 (as of 05/31/2012)
This book is the basis for studying Ancient Egyptian art in Harmony Fine Arts. I recommend it because it not only has loads of information, it also has great illustrations and activities. I use this book in my fifth grade plan but it could easily be shared with children older or younger.
My New Favorite Egyptian Art Book
Ralph Masiello's Ancient Egypt Drawing Book (Ralph Masiello's Drawing Books)
Amazon Price: $197.59 (as of 05/31/2012)
This colorful, well-illustrated how to draw book is a must for young artists studying the Ancient Egyptian time period. It is much more than a drawing book and will inspire hours of art in your family.

- Being a homeschool family, we were able to take a field trip to Egypt several years ago when we were studying ancient history. It was a great learning experience and it helped my kids to connect with what they had studied.
