Art Adventures At Home : A Curriculum Guide for Home Schools is apparently no longer published. Used books may be purchased at places that sell used books. This year (2015), I purchased two of the books in this series to see what they are like. The content is very organized and I foresee, by looking over the content, that one should have no or few problems teaching this class as long as one prepares for the class. By preparing, I mean that-- a day (at least) ahead of time read the lesson and make sure that you have the materials
