| ACTA 67- First chapters of ACTA book | 25 Jul 2020 | 00:31:39 | |
“Me? Teach art? I don’t even know how to draw!!” Many of us started there.
But then, after a few years of teaching art with the classical model of education, we realized that teaching art can be as simple as teaching any other subject and we can learn it alongside our children! Now we’ve condensed our knowledge here for you. Instead of a how-to-draw book, Anyone Can Teach Art presents the scope and sequence of a classical Christian art curriculum for K-12 students. In this book, we break it all down for you. By the end of this book you’ll know:
Learn the basics and follow the plan in this book and you’ll realize how easy it really is to teach art. Enjoy a sample of this new book! | |||

Now we want to explore the topic again, but look broadly at the pros and cons of all kinds of art events! Full Show Notes: https://ridgelightranch.com/all-about-art-events-podcast-66/. | |||

| 40- Why Study Michelangelo, the Cranky Artist | 07 Jan 2019 | 01:22:07 | |
Michelangelo was an amazingly talented painter, architect, and poet, but his favorite art form was sculpting. He was probably the most talented sculptor who ever lived, perhaps even the most talented artist who ever lived. His art was dramatic, detailed, and always perfect. The people he sculpted were usually twisting or displayed in striking (or maybe awkward) poses. All this drama makes Michelangelo a link between the traditional Renaissance art and the Mannerist movement which bridges the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Join us as we chate about Michelangelo, one of the most famous artists of all time... and about how to handle all the nudes when we're teaching our kids about Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists. Show Notes: https://ridgelightranch.com/michelangelo-podcast-40/ | |||
| 39- Why Study Albrecht Dürer, Renaissance Trendsetter? | 24 Dec 2018 | 01:03:10 | |
You can find the full show notes here: https://ridgelightranch.com/albrecht-durer-podcast-39/ Albrecht Durer was known as the “Leonardo da Vinci of Germany,” but he was a Renaissance trendsetter in the whole European art world. His impact reached far beyond Germany, partially because he traveled to other countries, but more because his Woodblock cuts were far beyond what anyone had ever created! However, Durer wasn't just an artist, he was also interested in theology, science, proportions, math, geometry, and epistemology (the study of the foundation of knowledge). | |||
| 38- Why Study Fra Angelico? | 10 Dec 2018 | 01:19:13 | |

| 31- Abstract Celtic Art | 03 Sep 2018 | 00:46:31 | |
Celtic Art has such a unique look to it that most people can easily identify at Celtic, whether it's from the earlier pre-Christian eras or the later Celtic-Christian times. In this style we see a lot of patterns and drawings that look like knots and ropes. As far as abstract art goes, it's a very meticulous, mathematical style- very different than some other types of abstract art. Show Notes: https://ridgelightranch.com/abstract-celtic-art-podcast-31/ | |||
| 30- Archaic Greek Art, Linking Ancient to Modern Art | 20 Aug 2018 | 00:50:46 | |
In this episode we're chatting about Greek art, but specifically art from the Archaic period (about 800-500 BC). It's an interesting period that leads to the Golden Age of Greece and the Roman empire. It and forms a link between Ancient Egyptian art and Classical Roman art. We chat about this connection when it comes to Greek sculptures and pottery (since so much of it has lasted these thousands of years), but we leave a discussion of architecture for episode #32. We also chat about nudity in art and how to handle it in class and at home. Show Notes: https://ridgelightranch.com/greek-art-podcast-30 | |||
