• HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES AND CO-OPS,
• PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS, and
• INDEPENDENT STUDY.
It is also being used by missionaries, vacation Bible schools, and by public school art teachers as supplementary materials.
All Spears Art Studio art curricula relate the Word of God and art history/appreciation to the specific theme and each art activity within that theme. Students learn many techniques in art production and grow in their ability for expression and appreciation of art. Each level builds toward the next level in brain and motor skills and are appropriate for grade and age levels. All curricula are adaptable to any study schedule. The K-8 curriculum uses many items that students already have and some items normally found in the home and gives a wealth of activity choices. All curricula are non-consumable due to the limited reproduction rights stated above.
