A Beka Book is a private company that specializes in Christian-based learning curriculum that can be used in Christian schools or homeschools. A Beka states that users can "benefit from a treasury of textbooks and teaching materials that reflect the very best in traditional education, comprehensive curriculum and Scriptural truths." A Beka offers a wide variety of subjects, but one popular series is the Art Projects series.
Most of the books in the A Beka Art Projects series for younger children have projects involving cutting and gluing, coloring and drawing. These are excellent starters for children who are homeschooled or enjoy extracurricular art projects outside of school. The subject matter of these projects are related to Christianity themes, academics and the seasons.
As children develop finer motor skills, A Beka offers books with art projects that focus on more fine-tuned skills such as drawing with colored pencils and painting with watercolors. These lessons also start to introduce concepts of art such as symmetry, perspective and art appreciation.
A Beka Art Projects are only a curriculum. They do not come with the materials and tools necessary for all projects in the books. Parents or educators using these books will still need to procure the art materials necessary for completing the projects. This can include scissors, glue, crayons, paper, pencils, brushes, watercolor paints, erasers and more.
