Arttango provides an art education for elementary school aged children by an art education specialist with 25 years of public and private school experience. Lessons are delivered to the student by the use of movies that incorporate the elements of art. All movie lessons are available on DVD or in a software format. The children learn through age appropriate projects that correspond to the lessons taught by Art Specialist Lydia-Kay Blackburn. The Arttango art lessons may be delivered to the student or classroom through a computer, television, projector, over a network or from the internet, depending on the lesson delivery option you choose. Arttango now allows for free access to the written art lessons and projects for Kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade and 5th grade. Learn more about the FREE online art lessons.
