This course was written by the team at The House That Lars Built under the direction of Brittany Jepsen. Brittany has an MA in Interior Design and a BA in Art History and has built an award-winning craft and design site called the House That Lars Built since 2008. Flowers have always played a major role in Brittany’s life and work, from the giant paper flowers for her wedding to teaching people how to use flowers to make an artful life. This course is the culmination of her interests and passions.

We designed the course with kids ages 6-13 in mind. That’s a pretty wide age gap! We are confident that the projects are realistic and simple enough for young kids, but interesting enough to engage the older kids too! All of the projects are customizable.
-
The Great Artists course is set up to take 6 weeks to complete (1 week per artist). However, it can be spread out and completed at whatever pace you feel comfortable with! It can be flexible based on your needs.

This course will teach you how to draw a different flower each day for 31 days. Along with an instructional video for each flower flower, there is information about the history of each flower, where it appears in famous artworks, the season of bloom, and how to use it in bouquets etc. There are even printable posters you can download and use as artwork.

You will need a device to access the instructional videos and something to draw with. You can choose something as simple as paper and pencil, as shown in the videos or you can supplement the materials and draw digitally, paint, use markers, etc. The possibilities are endless!

There are 31 chapters within the Learn to Draw: Flowers course. Each chapter features a different flower including a short video, about 5 minutes long, and a pdf with additional information about each flower. Originally designed as a flower-a-day course, you could add it to your daily creative practice or you can watch the course in a week! The pacing truly depends on how much you want to give it each day — it’s up to you how you’d like to structure it. The course never expires so you can also refer back to it.
-
This course is designed for budding artists and someone who wants to add to their daily-creative practice. There is something for everyone, ages 9-99 (though younger kids might also enjoy it!).

Learn to Draw: Flowers was first conceived as a daily flower drawing challenge on YouTube. We’ve received requests over the years to make the experience more streamlined and easier to navigate so we compiled the videos onto an educational platform. We’ve added in background information on each flower’s history and meaning, tips about styling the real flowers in bouquets, and never-before-released printable posters. It’s a true flower lover’s haven!
