If I have a child come in on the second year of the history rotation, would he be able to pick up the art lessons where the older children are? Or is it something you need to start at the beginning and work your way through?

God and the History of Art is designed for ages 10+ but younger children may be able to use it with help. Our younger daughter (in 2nd and 3rd grade) really did well with the drawing and painting lessons (but I didn't expect her to listen as attentively to the art history part of each lesson.)

Lessons are scheduled in each teacher's manual for the four years of history. We do not do all of the lessons in order. In fact, the lessons do not need to be taught in sequence. A child can begin at any point, even if he didn't do the first year or two of the book.

You can let a child do some of the lessons that he missed if he has an interest in art
