Learn the history of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
while honing your artistic skills in acrylics, watercolor, and drawing!
Towering fortresses, legendary warriors, and intricate medieval designs come to life. Students will use a variety of mediums, including pencil and pen, watercolor, acrylics, and cut paper. Every lesson has stories and interesting facts from Medieval and Renaissance history followed by a related art project. Students work in an art journal creating their own illustrated history book!
A perfect complement to CC Foundations
The accompanying book, The Art Of Medieval History by Maddie Sanford and Courtney Sanford will be available by August 2025. Contains beautiful photographs of artifacts, helpful source material, and short descriptions you could use for copywork or IEW key word outline practice, and step-by-step illustrations of the art projects.
Extend the lesson with readings from Story of the World Vol. 2 by Susan Wise Bauer.
