(An ALL-ACCESS pass to the Masterpiece Society Art Vault for families who don't like limitations and prefer to work at their own pace.)
Not only will you have access to ALL of the Masterpiece Society courses for kids and teens, you’ll also have access to exclusive content for members only:
Super-short, easy-peasy lessons requiring only one form of media for early-elementary students (K-2). We use simple coloring mediums – markers, pastels, and tempera sticks – and they will still create beautiful masterpieces!
For the “littles” who might not yet have the fine motor skills to draw or participate in the full art courses with their older siblings – they can color along via a special section of the Studio just for them.
A collection of simple handicrafts—from sewing, embroidery, crochet, to wreaths and garlands—for kids and teens to create & give as gifts or simply make for themselves.
If there’s a holiday in the month, check under the “Holiday Art” section for a FUN art lesson. We also have art for those weird holidays too!
Sometimes moms just need an hour or so with other moms to unwind, de-stress, and play with paint. This is what we do at our virtual paint parties.
Once a month, we have an art project just for us moms to create and to experience our own artsy “Mother Culture” or simply partake in a bit of self-care.
ARTventure Summer Art Camps
Our ARTventure summer art camps are now exclusively for members only! Immerse yourself into some of the most famous adventures of all time over the summer or throughout the year!
Not only do members get access to ALL our current courses for kids and teens, PLUS the exclusive content for members mentioned above…
But, for as long as you remain a member you will get access to EVERY NEW ART COURSE we produce!!! You won’t have to purchase them separately because they will be automatically added to the membership site first!
Throughout these four courses, your older kids and teens will learn:
They’ll also learn the basic mechanics and various techniques of each the classical art mediums:
Graphite • Charcoal • Conte crayons • Inks
Oil pastels • Soft pastels • Watercolors • Acrylics/Oils
You are about to take a journey through time—one that begins in the cradle of civilization and the earliest recorded history of mankind.
And frankly, if it hadn’t been for the art these ancient humans created, we would hardly know anything about how they lived, worked, and survived.
Archeologists unearth and study evidence from past cultures, such as pottery, jewelry, statues, and even buildings — all created with the human hand. And each piece is a record of ideas, cultural influence, and the era in which they lived.
Art is the universal language of humanity. And throughout the ages, three main art forms have been found in almost every civilization and culture:
Painting • Sculpture • Architecture
In this brand new series, Art Through the Ages, you will learn about art from the far corners of the world and historical periods from the earliest civilizations spanning through the middle ages.
Not only will you have fun recreating amazing works of art—you will also gain a richer, deeper understanding of different cultures and civilizations.
There are 5 volumes in the Art Through the Ages series:
Throughout this series, we will create:
Sculpture • Mosaics • Fresco • Relief
Papier-mache • Faux Stained Glass • Batik • Pottery
Pattern Design • Calligraphy • Paintings
Join Alisha and her husband, Jason, for these FUN new lessons!
But what about your younger kids? If you have children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade who want to create art, but need more simplified lessons…
If you want them to develop confidence in their ability to produce their very own artwork, but with less art mediums, then check out our NEW art courses specifically designed for them (and yes, they are ALL included in your Studio membership)!
Take your family read-alouds to the next level with our LiterARTure series! Join my bookworm daughter, Olivia, as she combine various art mediums with some of her favorite classic childhood stories!
She adds one new lesson each month during the regular school season.
This summer, we took LiterARTure to the extreme by creating an entire summer art camp around a book, Peter Pan, with our ARTventure into Neverland. And this fall, we are adding BARD Art as well as Poetry & Painting to this super popular series!
If you’re wanting to learn nature journaling, not only from an artistic perspective, but especially from a scientific perspective, then the Masterpiece Society’s got you covered!
Join Heather Woodie as she teaches you how to be a “nature keeper.”
These courses will help you become more curious and ask lots of questions about nature that’s all around you. You will learn about various species and the ecology that influences them by observing and sketching in the field as well as how to record those observations in a nature journal.
Vincent van Gogh said: “If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”
Draw on Heather’s expertise to help you find the beauty in your own backyard and create an ongoing record of it.
The art courses, exclusive member content, and resources within are currently valued at $7,082 (with more coming this year).
But now, you can bring art, beauty, and creativity to your kids with a membership to Masterpiece Society Studio PREMIUM for a small monthly or yearly investment!
As an artist and veteran homeschool mom of three, I want to provide you with the tools to instill a love of art and creativity in your kids – even in the midst of your crazy, busy life.
“I'm so happy to have found your site! My boys, ages 14, 12, and 7 enjoy the lessons very much! I love that they're easy to follow and they can do them by themselves anytime they are free and from the comfort of our home. I love the flexibility that they can skip the lessons they don't want to do. Thank you for such a wonderful resource and so much love and effort in the video lessons. It is really amazing! I am grateful to have spent some bonding time with my boys as I sat with them to do some of the more challenging lessons. Masterpiece Society is truly a gem!"

“Masterpiece Society Studio has been amazing for our family! My 11-year old daughter loves to watch Alishas' lessons. She has gained much more confidence in her art and especially appreciates that Alisha allows her to see her "oops moments." She has come to realize through this that her art doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. My 8-year old son says that Alisha is very easy to learn from and fun to paint with. We have had so much fun doing many of the lessons together, but my children have also grown more independent as they follow the lessons on their own. No longer am I intimidated to teach my kids art history or techniques as the Masterpiece Society has given our family the tools we need to confidently learn and enjoy art!"
Jessica F.
“I am thrilled with all that the Masterpiece Society Studio has offered our family. I thought we would start with a "Fine Arts Friday," by soon I found that the kids were drifting to the art materials and creating almost everyday. The artwork around our home is wonderful and brings a great deal of joy to my heart as I walk from room to room! Before we joined, there were days when we were overcome with stress and difficult work, but now we each have a way to deal with it when it becomes too much. I have enjoyed the projects for moms and experimenting with paints and techniques to create my own pieces. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the Masterpiece Society has taught my kids!"

“I love your program — we have been Studio members for three years…three out of the six of us in our family suffer with a severe chronic disease and are using the Masterpiece Society Studio to help us heal. So it has been very life-giving and healing for us to have something to do at home as we work through our chronic illness. As a nurse I have found the research around art and neuroplasticity so fascinating. It's been amazing to utilize your lessons to help us in our healing journey!
Thank you for creating a wonderful program!”

“As a homeschooling mom (despite having a minor degree in art), I felt completely lost and overwhelmed trying to select what and how to teach art lessons to my kids. Having Alisha with the Masterpiece Society Studio as our own private art teacher -- complete with instructions and supply lists -- took all the pressure off of me. Without the stress, I've joined in on the fun and love making art right alongside my children!"
Catherine R.
"Hands down, my favorite courses are by Alisha Gratehouse. What I love about them is that most any age can do the projects, and even though there is an example end product, everyone’s will be different. Alisha is so encouraging and walks you through each piece step-by-step. I love that you’re using real materials, it makes even your humblest effort seem a little more professional."
Bethany I.
"My daughter adores Alisha Gratehouse and her Masterpiece Society Studio! This membership has been, and continues to be, a wealth of art history, engaging art projects, and workshops. It has been an amazing outlet for her to focus her artistic talents while obtaining mountains of inspiration."
Erin V.
"Parents, if you are crazy enough to want some high quality mixed media art lessons for your children, you probably want to check out Alisha Gratehouse’s lessons. She makes everyone in our house feel like an artist by the time a project is finished. We’re even (willingly and joyfully) hanging the art up in the house! Where it can be seen. The price is right, too. So whether you have a couple, several, few, or gaggle of children it’s affordable."

Q: Do I have to be artistic for my kids to do well in the Masterpiece Society Studio?
A: Heck no! If you have even one artistic kid, he/she will absolutely bloom in the Studio.

And because we focus on experiencing art, even your non-artsy kiddo will learn to enjoy the process of creating.
