Creating a Masterpiece provides online video art lessons from professional artist Sharon Hofer. The program covers drawing, painting, pastels, colored pencil, mixed media, and art history across multiple skill levels from beginner through advanced.

Students watch video demonstrations and follow along at a self-directed pace. Lessons are organized into courses by medium and skill level, so a family with children at different ages can all use the same subscription. The instruction is truly rigorous; this is not a craft program but a real art education that progresses through foundational skills to advanced techniques.

What to Know

The subscription costs approximately $30-40/month and provides access to the full library. Many classical homeschool families use Creating a Masterpiece as their primary art curriculum because it takes art education seriously and can serve as a fine arts credit for high school transcripts.

Parent involvement is minimal. The student watches the video, follows the instructions, and creates the piece. Supply lists are provided for each lesson. The program works for ages 5 through adult.
