    • High-quality reading: Our professionally illustrated magazines make for lasting keepsakes. Engaging stories, activities, and beautiful imagery introduce students to important creators and their works. 
    • Diverse artist features: Every magazine highlights women and/or people of color who have contributed to the development of Western art history. Learn more.

  • Built Chronologically: Our Essentials line starts in ancient Greece and wraps up in the 20th century. As students move through the curriculum, they collect stickers to add to their own Timeline Poster. See which time periods and artists are included here

    Fully-Stocked: Each box comes with the materials and instruction guides for three educational art projects. Designed by our team of artists, these art projects bring the concepts and styles of each time period to life. 

    Engaging from Hand-to-Ear: In addition to drawing activities, all magazines also include guided F.A.L.T (Focus and Listen Time) Exercises. This engaging strategy helps students hone in on their classical music listening skills. Learn more.

  • Ships every other month for a total of 6 boxes per year. The Essentials Act 1 order covers the first 6 boxes (one year's worth). Act 2 will be available in 2022, completing the entire curriculum for a total of 12 boxes.
