What Kind of Art is "Mozart"?
I'm considering enrolling Astro in a charter school this fall (kindergarten). Their curriculum is based on the classical approach to education. He would only go to the charter twice a week; the rest of the time would be homeschooling as usual.
One of the courses they offer is art, using the Monart method. Have any of you used this approach to art? What have your experiences been? What other art programs have you used, and what has been your experience of those?

Have never used this art curriculum and have never heard of it. Please post any information you may have on it. It sounds interesting. Good luck to you!

I'm reading a book that mentions this method a lot. I think it may be by the lady who came up with it. It's called Drawing With Children by Mona Brookes. I'm actually using it myself and so far I like it. I don't know how advanced my drawing will get with 2 small children I get the chance to take it out maybe once a week, but so far I've enjoyed the exercises.

Yes, I believe that is indeed the name of the woman who created that art curriculum (Mona/Monart). Up 'til now, I've been showing the kids how to take basic shapes like circles, squares, triangles, etc. and put them together to make pictures, like boats, cars, flowers, etc. Not exactly museum quality training, but it's a start!
