In this beautiful art book you'll get 24 lessons each of which teach both history and art. Students learn about an artifact from ancient history and read a short section about the time period, including seeing the area on a world map. Then, students follow step-by-step illustrated instructions to learn fine art skills and create a painting or drawing inspired by the artifact. Lessons are arranged geographically. Students will begin with 8 lessons from ancient Egypt including drawing and painting pyramids, King Tut, cartouches, and jewelry and drawings. The next section is Old Testament times, followed by ancient Greece, Rome, and the Americas.
