Trusted by schools and districts across California and beyond.
Initially, when our curriculum committee reviewed the detailed Scope and Sequence of Arts Attack, we were pleased to find it aligned to National Standards for Visual Arts Education. Teachers are finding the instruction sequential, appropriate for grade levels and teacher friendly in its organization. I met with one of our teachers who's trained in arts education and it was her opinion that Arts Attack was one of the top art programs she has seen for the elementary grades. Knowing that a program of this quality does not create itself, we thank you for having the vision to provide teachers with the Arts Attack curriculum.
I have never seen an art program which is as well conceived, as well received by the students, as effective in getting students to understand the elements of texture, color, composition, line, balance, and all the others.
We love your curriculum and the way it is accessible to all learners! Our students have learned so much about artists and techniques. You have made a wonderful program and we all look forward to many more years of learning about art and creating masterpieces of our own!
