The Masterpiece Alphabet Kinder+ Art Basics Program is a hands-on curriculum that inspires children to be creative and spark their inner Artist.

Using the combined subjects of Art & Language Arts, your kindergarten+ students can build an artistic vocabulary while learning the elements of art, through creatively designed lesson plans from A to Z, with children’s books to inspire the topic and hands on projects to inspire you as the home educator, to bring art into your homeschool easily, and effortlessly.
