I have been promising to do this for a long time now and they are finally finished. Harmony Fine Arts Homeschool Art Plans for Grade One are now ready for you to download as an ebook. I know I have said that there would not be any changes to the resources, artists and composers studied, or format and I was almost able to keep to that promise.
This is still an overview year that covers a sampling of artists and composers to build interest and enthusiasm in your family for art and music appreciation. Even if you have do not have a background in the fine arts, the Harmony Fine Arts Grade 1 plans will be easy for you to get started with and they are appropriate for children in grades 1-4. (See the HFA Artists and Composers List for Grades 1-4 for specifics.)
The only major changes to the ebook plans for Harmony Fine Arts Grade 1 plans are as follows:
- I eliminated Giuseppe Verdi and added Franz Schubert in the Music Appreciation Option. I just have not been happy with Verdi for a long time and wanted to give younger students a better listening experience as they start out with classical music.
- I added YouTube videos for every suggested listening suggestion in the Music Appreciation Option. The new ebook plans now have a better explanation for listening to classical music and optional online listening using a YouTube playlist. Super easy now!
- The new Harmony Fine Arts Homeschool Art Grade One plans now include one art print for each artist as a reference or resource for printing/viewing. (Ebook version only.)
- The new Harmony Fine Arts Homeschool Art Grade One plans now include two artist notebook pages to print for an optional notebook page.
- Please see this entry about acquiring the Oxford First Book of Art.
*32 Weeks of Plans - 8 artists and 8 composers. (See sample for a complete list.)
* There is now a post that illustrates what a sample week would include with lots of details and images: Harmony Fine Arts Grade 1 Sample Week.
*Three Options for art and one for music appreciation. (See sample for Weeks 1-4.)
*Links to internet sources for viewing artwork, additional activities, and YouTube listening. (See sample for how much depth this gives your study if you wish it for your family.) Ebook version has clickable links.
*Ebook and Print editions include two generic artist notebook pages.
*Ebook format includes art prints to view and/or print out for your personal use.
*Resources can be seen on my Amazon.com Listmania List.

It is ready AHEAD of schedule. You rock, Barb!
I have been trying hard to keep to my posted schedule and this one fell together fast because there weren't many changes.
I think it is an awesome overview year for the grammar stage.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for your fantastic resources, Barb. I've been waiting for the new Grade 1 eBook so I was thrilled it was ready early - thank you so much! Lucinda
hola una consulta tus productos tambien estan en español yo vivo en Sudamerica. Espero tu respuesta gracias, muy interesante.
What would you recommend for a FAMILY? I have a 7 year old (just turned 7) and an 8 year old (will be 9 in Dec). They are in 1st and 3rd grades, but we have yet to do much official fine arts study (we did MONET and BACH, but never made it further than that). Would it be advisable to use your Grade 1 plans with both and just proceed from there? What makes them "Grade One" ... is it just the time period?
Thanks!
IrieMomma,
My plans are written to be flexible for a family. The "grade one" designation just means it is the first round for art history. Grade one is an "overview" year and then starting in second grade they are chronological (using the four year cycle of history).
So for your family, the grade one plans would work for your ages of children OR you could pick grades 2, 3, or 4 to match your history time period if you wanted to do that.
If you have any other questions, please email me anytime:
