I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew
For the last month or so, we have had the wonderful opportunity to receive and review the Art History Program from Creating A Masterpiece. Our family loves to be creative and we enjoy it when we can get out our art supplies and just have some fun. My daughter and I use the supplies more than anyone else in our house, but you will see my husband getting out his sketchpad and pencils once in a while. He is gifted in drawing but is a busy guy and doesn't get to use his skills as much as he would like. I actually showed him this program and he said he wants to try his hand at a few projects next time he gets some time off.
Since we are doing this review during our summer break, we decided to just pick a few projects and have some fun trying to learn new techniques and such. However, this program is best used to complement an Art History Curriculum. They want to teach how to create art similar to different time periods like The Realism Period or Gothic Period.
Once you purchase your program, you will log in, and all your projects will be right there for you to choose from. Here is our Daley Art Studio Page. From here we can pick what projects we would like to do. 
There are different levels and media to choose from. The levels range from: 
- Core Beginner to Core Level 5
- Beginning Drawing 1 to Drawing Level 6
- Styles of Art History
- Historically Themed Projects
- Exploring the Art of Yesterday
- Capstone Program
There are many different media that you will be taught as well such as:
- Acrylic
- Balsa Carving
- Batik
- Block Printing
- Colored Marker
- Colored Pencil
- Conté Crayon
- Copper Tooling
- Faux Metal Working
- Faux Stained Glass
- Glass Etching
- Glass Mosaic
- Gouache
- Ink
- Mixed Media
- Oil Painting
- Oil Pastel
- Pencil/Charcoal
- Printmaking
- Sculpture
- Silk Painting
- Soft Pastel
- Watercolor
- Watercolor Pencil
- Woodburning
Each class has up to 7 lessons of videos to watch and a supply list of what you will need to complete the project you have chosen. Most supplies are not expensive, but you really do get what you pay for when it comes to art supplies. Sometimes cheaper ones are not easy to use or won't blend well like you need. I enjoyed watching the videos and her instruction was simple. She is encouraging and that makes all the difference when taking classes such as these.
The classes can be used for younger children but range clear up to adult level. I only hope one day to be able to complete the masterpiece level :)
My daughter had fun watching the videos and learning some new techniques with using Black Artagain Paper and soft pastels. You only had to purchase a few colors for the projects, but we decided to buy a kit of soft pastels since we love art so much. Here is a couple of her creations. She is a private person but allows me to share some of her creations here so you can see what the program can teach you.
Most of the time you will find her creating her masterpieces on our couch with her sketchpad and iPad for watching videos and such. This program was great for its versatility!
