“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” -Ephesians 2:8,9

Art History Lesson Plan
I just finalized Angel's 12th grade Art History plan. She will be using Short Lessons in Art History, which is a 2 book set by Phyllis Clausen Barker.
Short Lessons in Art History is an introductory course which explores the lives of major artists and art movements from the Renaissance to modern times. The course is intended for grade 6 to adult. Since the course really starts with the Renaissance, my expectations will require a bit of research and some memory work from former years of study. Keep in mind, we complete 3 twelve week terms here at Drywood Creek Academy.
Below is the outline I've created and our credit requirements for the course. Please do not use this plan without purchasing the Short Lessons in Art History set. Ms. Barker has done an immense amount of research and I'm sure has much time involved in creating this course. It would be unfair and unethical to copy her course based on my plan without purchasing the text. We will also be using other books for research and supplementation. Some are noted below in addition to others we have on our shelves.
