The Artistic Pursuits series is written by Brenda Ellis. The books have plastic covers and coil binding which makes them easy to work with. Pages are
printed in full color on one side only and are visually pleasing to the eye. The instructions are easy to follow with lots of examples.
In the new second edition, there are no prints to glue in yourself. More artwork and more historical information is included. There are weekly lessons in
each book. Expanded biographies of the artists and in grades 4 to 12, there is an extra page in each unit.
Overall this is a very well done art curriculum. Brenda Ellis has made life a lot easier for homeschool parents who want to teach art at home!
