Five Curriculums
Your child won’t need a template.
Most art programs give children art to copy. These curriculums build skills for the future: drawing, painting, color theory, clay modeling, and crafting. So they can imagine their own creative ideas.
Built on the Science Art Method™.
What your child learns
Five skills, taught in sequence.
01
Drawing
Your child learns the foundational art elements and builds from first sketch to realism, so they can draw whatever they picture.
44 sequential lessons
02
Painting
Your child masters real brushstroke control through sumi-e and Chinese brush calligraphy. Once the strokes are in their hand, they paint on their own.
57 brushstroke lessons
03
Color Theory
Your child learns how color actually works: value, mixing, and combination. They stop guessing at color and start choosing it.
37 color mixing lessons
04
Clay Modeling
Your child learns ceramic foundations, from slab building to joining and shaping, so their 3D forms hold together.
29 lessons
05
Crafting
Your child works through 10 traditional craft methods, including sewing, weaving, mosaics, and wool. By the end, they design and build a piece from scratch.
10 foundational principles, 3 levels each, 30 practice and process activities

Educational alignment
Built on real art standards.
Lessons are structured around the Elements and Principles of Design and follow the artistic process through open-ended studio work. The curriculum meets and exceeds national and international core arts standards, and is designed to support long-term creative confidence and independence, not a set of one-off projects.
The Science Art Method™
Founded on 30 years of research.
The Science Art Method™ is the framework underneath every curriculum on this page. It comes from 30 years of teaching children in real studios, observing closely, and recording what actually happens as a child learns to make art.
At its center is a proprietary sensory method. Children build visual art literacy through direct sensory experience with real materials, introduced in the order their eyes and hands are ready to receive it. That order is the difference between a child copying a picture and a child learning to see.
The Science Art Method™ is the original work of Spramani Elaun and belongs to Nature of Art®.
