Our Program Approach
The Art Secrets program is about a modernized approach to the Old Masters concept, theories, and principles. We give you to the tools to open up the possibilities and the choices you get to make with art.
Why Art Secrets for Your Home School Needs?
You've searched the web -- found books that talk about art, YouTube channels that have learning, and find it difficult to structure the learning for your home school student.
Challenging Learning
Chris di Domizio is a Smithsonian Artist with a brick-and-mortar school in Atlanta, GA. He's spent his life teaching art to students with one single objective: success. When artist fail, they quit. We don't want that.
Structure
Our program is structured in a manner that breaks the learning into modules and segments to allow you to allocate the learning over the school year. This is makes it easier for you to plan out your learning calendar.
Cost
We offer a select number of grants per year that reduce the cost of the program up to 50% per year. Chris believes that it's important to encourage your student to learn creativity at an early age. Please Contact Us to inquire about a program grant.
Online Access
Our program can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. We have a partnership with Binders Art Stores in Atlanta, GA to offer a discount on supplies.

Art Fundamentals: Explore the basics of art, including drawing and painting. Our program is grounded in all of the greatest artist from all the museums that you may take your kids too.
-
Art Appreciation: Study the works of the Old Masters while developing critical thinking skills. And a bonus is that we're teaching principles from artist that your kids can go see at a museum during the program. Field trip!
Age-Specific Learning Applications
The program is structured in single modules, so the student will sometimes find themselves challenged with learning, however our video tutorials breaks down each step into meaningful and digestible segments. Think about this in segments of learning by age:
-
Elementary (6-10 years)
-
Develop fine motor skills through various mediums (e.g., pencils, drawing).
-
Encourage understanding of how to complete the basics of art (drawing program)
-
-
Middle School (11-14 years)
-
Emphasize artistic techniques, such as contrast, value, and proportion.
-
Introduce basic art history and appreciation.
-
-
High School (15+ years)
-
Focus on in-depth studies of various art mediums and techniques.
-
Encourage analysis and interpretation of artworks.
-
The program is designed for success. And we want to ensure that the student has all of the necessary resources and explanations to ensure just that. We encourage you to sign-up for the trial and take a look around the video library.
