{"product_id":"masterbooks-art-level-2","title":"Masterbooks Art Level 2","description":"Art Level 2 takes second graders on a full-year creative journey through God's animal kingdom, weaving together narrative, skills-based exercises, and hands-on exploration to help children see and worship God through art. Along the way, each animal brings natural science facts into the mix, making this a curriculum that covers more than one subject.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCourse Objectives \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore God’s creation and see it as His masterful work of art.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn how to worship God with art by beginning with God’s Word.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn about lines, shapes, colors, and more through fun activities.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevelop hand and eye skills needed to gain independence in creating art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Course That Makes Teaching Art So Easy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust two 30-minute lessons a week are all it takes to give your child a full year of meaningful art education. The textbook doubles as a workbook, so your child's activity pages and your read-aloud narrative passages are all in one place. No hunting for materials, either: each lesson includes a supply list of simple household and craft items like uncooked macaroni, wooden craft sticks, tempera paints, and ribbon, so you're always prepared before you open the book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTemplates in the back give you a head start on several projects, and an answer key handles the fact-based exercises for you. Every third week, your child works through a satisfying multi-step project like a drawing, a sponge painting, a lantern, or a diorama, the kind of finished piece they'll want to keep. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt Instruction and Activities \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLessons introduce key artistic vocabulary your child will actually use: symmetry, pattern, value, form, perspective, and texture. They'll explore the color wheel from primary to secondary colors, discover the difference between cool and warm colors, and practice mixing colors themselves.\u003cbr\u003eSimple skills like tracing, lacing, molding, and cutting are practiced first in focused, low-pressure exercises. Then those same skills are put to work in multi-step projects that result in something your child will want to show off, like a beautiful lantern made from craft sticks and tissue paper, or handprint zebras peeking through waving grass.\u003cbr\u003eWorksheets provide structure and practice; projects open the door to creative expression. Together, they give you the framework that makes teaching art at home feel manageable rather than overwhelming.\u003cbr\u003eActivities across the year include fingerprint art, paper mosaics, playdough sculptures, wax-resist watercolor painting, step-by-step drawings in a simplified style, sponge painting, a wax paper melt, and origami paper folding. \u003cbr\u003eEye Spy: Noticing God’s Glory  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis curriculum will build your child’s faith through the Eye Spy moments that invite students to pause and look for God’s character reflected in art, creation, and everyday life. These guided prompts connect each lesson’s art skill to Scripture, helping children see how God's design, order, and attributes show up in the world around them and training young eyes to view creativity and creation through a Christ-centered lens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Progression from First Grade's Art Level 1 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt Level 2 assumes basic pencil and scissor proficiency and builds on those skills with greater precision and independence. Step-by-step drawing becomes a core skill, projects grow slightly more sophisticated (drawing + cutting + assembling), and children begin developing their own artistic style through small creative decisions about their work.","brand":"New Leaf Publishing Group, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49204844724451,"sku":"9781683444053","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/6522\/4419\/files\/art-level-2-cover-1st.jpg?v=1781013130","url":"https:\/\/thehomeschoolhive.com\/products\/masterbooks-art-level-2","provider":"The Homeschool Hive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
