If you are studying the Renaissance, European history, or the Protestant Reformation this year, you will find that this is an excellent additional resource to enhance what you’re learning. Art provides the visual account of a time and place, and gives us imagery to hold onto as we learn and recall the past.

In this 15-week program you’ll become familiar with the following artists:
Donatello
Van Eyck
Masaccio
Bellini
Mantegna
Botticelli
Bosch
Da Vinci
Durer
Michelangelo
Raphael
Titian

El Greco
Sofonisba Anguissola

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
Are there any live lessons?
No, all lessons are embedded and self-paced.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. There's even an iOS app!
What age group is the Daily Art: Renaissance useful for?
Kids ages 8 and older will get the most out of Daily Art, but we do have families with preschoolers that are loving the program. There are some videos that are geared toward younger children, but most are for elementary through high school. Each age can get their own level of good out of the program, and I think families with a mix of ages will find that you can adapt it pretty well for your children. The bonus Artist Study Notebook also has great resources that can work for all ages!
How long are the videos each day?
Most of the videos are around 4-5 minutes, with some occasionally being more like 8 minutes or longer.
How is nudity handled in this program?
I aim to keep the nudity to a minimum, while also staying true to the subject matter. Sensual nudity is avoided. Classical form nudity is sometimes included, but parents are given advanced warning with time stamps for videos that include nudity so you can preview and determine appropriateness for your own family. Some time periods have more nudity than others (Renaissance, for instance).
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 14 days and we will give you a full refund. (You will be asked to delete anything you have downloaded from the course.)
