Our personal recommendations are listed in the back of the book. If you are starting a student in grades 3-5 who has had little previous art instruction, it would probably be helpful to complete Year A of Level 1 first. If the child is familiar with basic art terms and concepts, you can begin directly with Level 2. I have children of different ages. The lessons in the first two volumes are coordinated so that you can teach all of your children at the same time, often using the same materials.
Older students can work in the third volume with minimal assistance.
However, the supplies that are required are inexpensive and easy to obtain. Those who don't have the time to do this can purchase our Masterpak , which is a handy collection of 40 reproductions that cover the lessons in all three volumes.
