I have used both "I can do all Things" and "Feed my Sheep" Art Lesson Plans by Barry Stebbing and I have found them to be excellent. My children sometimes draw while I am reading aloud and these have been easy to use - good instructions and important techniques are covered. I have not used the DVDs, but I can see that these would really add to an art curriculum.
Although I haven't used it, God and the History of Art sounds very interesting and appealing - it is a 5 year curriculum!
I Can Do All Things Bundle Package with 4 Instructional DVDs

This was the first of Barry Stebbing's Art Curriculum we used. It's simple to use and teaches beginning drawing, beginning painting, and color theory. It is now also available as a pdf download.
It is geared at a young audience with tasks that young children will have success in doing which adds to their confidence. It includes colour as well as black and white drawings, shading, overlapping.
