This art series I began a few years ago to fill a need in my homeschool year and today I’m so TICKLED because I have the last grade, which is the 2nd grade finished.
You will need two things to get started.
Homeschool Art Curriculum & Notebooking Pages
Then choose a grade level or several depending on how many kids you have.
Yep, I have free printables for all the grades offered, which are Grades 1 – 8.
And don’t forget that you can use just one packet with ALL of your kids (print one copy for each child) and save your sanity by teaching them all together. Or, print one copy for your older child and do another level with your younger children. You decide, you’re the teacher.
Also, I wanted you to know that even though the free art curriculum that I am following to create printables divides the art into grade levels, I did not create the art notebooking pages baby-ish.
This way whatever the ages of your children are, they can use any grade level guide of their choosing along with the printables I created to have a complete art program for each year.
If you cover one artist per month, then each grade level will take you one year. So free art for a year!
One last thing I need to remind you is that I also create TWO SETS of the SAME art notebooking page, but each set is slightly different.
I like things perfect workable and to have options and I love for you to have them too.
Look below at the graphic I created to show how each set is slightly different.
One set has all text boxes in case you have a kid or two like I do that doesn’t want to sketch the art.
Especially at the high school level, my oldest son just wanted to make it more about art history.
So he wasn’t interest in sketching every piece. He just wanted to read the background information about each artist, read about the artwork and move one. Oh yes, I used some of these packets for high school art credit.
The second set has one small sketch box instead of the text box because then I have another kid who wants to sketch the art that we were learning about. Too, I keep the sketch box not too big so it doesn’t become a project to sigh about.
So the art is the SAME for both pages.
Too, this allows you to choose from either set depending on the time you have for that month. For example, one piece my sons may want to write, so I would print off that page. The next art piece they would want to sketch so I would print off that page from the other set.
Give your child options and don’t think you have to use ALL the same pages from one set. I mixed and match depending on the mood for the day or month.
I have a more pictures from each set to show you. This is how the pages look from the set that has sketch boxes and

Again, BOTH sets have the same art and are the same except for that one box.
