Loving this art series!
Review by Michelle C.
I love everything about this course! This is the art that MB has been missing, and now the series is finally here. The course is beautiful, well-organized, and easy to follow. There’s plenty to do with your child, even if you don’t have every supply or do every activity. As a visual learner, I really appreciate the pictures of the crafts and projects—they make the course very open-and-go, which is so helpful for a mom with young kids. You can tell the author cares about her work and wants kids to understand art and improve their skills. At the same time, the text is full of grace and doesn’t push perfectionism. This is truly a wonderful course for kids anywhere from Kindergarten to 3rd grade, depending on their ability. Well done, MB!
Excellent Intro to Art!
Review by Becky V.
I love the heart behind this Art Level 2: teaching art as a form of worship. The focus is not on our own creativity, but on seeing art in nature and using art to glorify God. It is set up to use 2 times a week, making it a perfect addition to your homeschool routine. The lessons begin at a very basic level, slightly below a second grade level in my opinion, but increase in difficulty as you go through the book. This makes it perfect for using with multiple ages.

A daily supply list, as well as a lesson-specific supply list, makes preparation simple. Many of the supplies are common things that are found around the house. Activities include a mix of projects, coloring pages, and drawing exercises, offering plenty of variety.

Although we did not use Art Level 1, we have previously used Handwriting: A to Zoo from Master Books, and the art lessons and projects in this curriculum remind me of the style used there. Because of that positive experience, we are looking forward to using Art Level 2 next year!
So Fun!
Review by LD
Whether you’ve done level 1 or not, don’t hesitate to get this course. While it says 2nd grade, you can easily incorporate this over a range of grades for a great family enrichment time.
Think you don’t have time to add one more thing or figure out what you need to make it happen? Well Art Level 2 is only 2 days a week, comes with a list of easy to find supplies needed each week and great instructions to help you teach your kids.
A good way to incorporate art as an elective to your homeschool days.
Beautiful and fun!
Review by Dustie
This series has been highly anticipated in my home. My youngest children are 6 and 8 years old, and they are so excited to have this. Julia Akers has done such a beautiful job on these books. I love that she shows little ones the truth that their talents and skills are blessings from the LORD and should be used to honor Him. This book naturally follows book 1, but it could easily be used if your child has not completed book 1.
It is so much more than a coloring book or a book of suggested projects, like many early elementary level art books. It is filled with fun projects that encourage individual creativity and development of artistic skills. The projects are simple and fun, and they require supplies that most homeschool families have already. There are also several memorable projects that could be made into gifts for family members.
I’m delighted to have another level of this series. It fits easily into our homeschool week, especially since it is only scheduled for two lessons per week. It gives the children something fun to look forward to.
Delightful
Review by Charity
Julia's Elementary Art series helps children from a young age to establish a firm foundation in art with the purpose of glorifying the Creator. We have already thoroughly been enjoying Art 1 with my 6yo, and Level 2 is just as wonderful! I can tell that Julia and the team put a lot of love, thought, and prayer into these materials as she gently guides parents and children through each simple and delightful activity to teach foundational art skills. My kids and I love that the activities are easy and actionable as they are filling their art skill toolbox. My 8yo especially is loving the step-drawing and puppets and is so excited to explore texture and so many of the other skills that lie ahead. I love that some of the projects can be done by older and younger siblings. I love having a pdf version on hand so that I can easily print extra copies so siblings can easily join the fun!
Art for the second grader
Review by Barbara D.
I have a second grader who likes to be crafty and loves this book. Every lesson teaches a Biblical truth as well as some art. Different mediums are used, including paints, dough, paper mâché, and others. The theme of this one is animals and has the kids draw or make animals for their art projects. It is great for a 7 year old wanting to do some art, without overwhelming mom, but is a bit young for an older child or for someone past the early basics of art. I love that she loves doing art (and crafts) that glorifies God.
