Take Time for Art

The curriculum facilitates direct instruction through detailed video presentations by the course creator. Both historical content and project techniques receive explicit demonstration and explanation.

15-25 video presentations per course include both history instruction and 'step-by-step processes for creating each project'; videos are 'heavily illustrated' and provide clear demonstrations

The curriculum provides structured instruction through video demonstrations while offering differentiated approaches for different skill levels. Projects include both easy and challenging implementation options.

Projects are 'often presented with both easy and more challenging ways to do them' and include options to simplify projects for younger students while maintaining complexity for older learners

The curriculum extensively integrates art history within broader historical and cultural contexts across ancient civilizations. History videos include detailed coverage of art, architecture, and cultural influences from ancient to modern times.

History videos 'teach about the historical period and the culture, including its art and architecture' and explain 'how the art and architecture have made their influence felt around the world, from ancient to modern times'

The curriculum provides clear, step-by-step technique instruction through dedicated project demonstration videos. Each art project includes thorough video demonstrations that allow students to complete projects without rewatching.

Nine videos show step-by-step processes for each project in Ancient Greece course; project demonstrations are 'clearly presented and thorough enough that we could watch the video then go to the project without having to rewatch the video'

The curriculum includes comprehensive support materials including supply lists and resource sections. However, specific teacher training components are not explicitly mentioned in the review.

Each course includes 'art pack with supplies' and 'a list of materials included and materials you'll need to get on your own is provided as a printable file in each course's resource section'

While art vocabulary instruction is not explicitly mentioned, the curriculum appears to integrate terminology through historical and cultural context. Specific art vocabulary instruction is not clearly evident from the review.

Review mentions teaching 'art skills, art history, and art appreciation' but does not specifically reference explicit vocabulary instruction or terminology teaching
