Fine Arts and Science are the moments your kids remember. They're also the ones that can dissolve into loose papers, half-finished drawings, and a science experiment nobody wrote down. This folder fixes that. One printable, one three-ring binder or folder, and your student has a home for all twelve weeks — a place to build, record, and look back on.

Every page was designed to be used, not just looked at. There's room to draw, boxes to check, hypotheses to circle, and space to tape in a finished project. And when your student flips back through in Week 12, they get to see exactly how far they've come. That's the good stuff.

What's inside (63 pages):

📐 Drawing Techniques — Weeks 1–6The five elements of shape (OiLs), mirror symmetry, upside-down drawing, abstract art, and one-point perspective — each week with a teaching page, guided practice, and a create-it-yourself page. Includes "Artist Eyes" coaching tips, at-home extensions, and a Week 6 planning spread that walks your student from thumbnail sketches to a final masterpiece using every skill they've learned.

🎵 Tin Whistle & Orchestra — Weeks 7–12Parts of the whistle, playing positions, dynamics (pp through ff), the musical staff, how to draw a treble clef step by step, note values, measures and bar lines, note names, and the full D scale with fingering charts. Ends with a one-page review that pulls it all together.

🔬 Hands-On Science — Weeks 1–6Lab sheets for the anatomy experiments: vocabulary, a hypothesis to circle, observation space, and trial charts. Blinking and visual persistence, the water-drop lens, fingerprint patterns (with taping spaces for all ten fingers), lung capacity by water displacement, skin shedding, sound location, touch receptors, and the tummy-rub coordination challenge.

🫀 Body System Reference Pages — Weeks 7–11Full-color illustrated pages for the brain, heart, kidneys, bladder, and more — bullet-point facts your student can actually read and remember.

✨ Plus: upper-level challenge pages for older siblings working alongside, so one folder stretches across ages.

A few honest notes:This is a companion — it's designed to work alongside Mona Brookes' Drawing with Children, Janice VanCleave's 201 Awesome, Magical, Bizarre & Incredible Experiments, and the Classical Conversations Foundations Guide, 5th Edition. You'll want your own copies of those.
