About ARTK12
Kristin Draeger started ARTK12 in the fall of 2000 with a small class of 6 students. Over the next eight years those La Mesa, California classes grew to over 60 students with a waiting list. In 2008 she closed down her classes to focus on homeschooling her son and writing ARTK12 curriculum.
Kristin’s Draw the World geography series has sold over 130,000 books. Her husband, Glen, also writes for ARTK12 handling literature and anatomy. With over 60 titles covering geography, literature, anatomy, art history, World War One and children’s books there is something at ARTK12 for almost every one.
Our Substack will focus on homeschooling, education, homeschooling vs public education and our own curriculum.
Our books can be purchased on our website at artk12.com, on Amazon.com and some homeschooling retailers (Rainbow Resource carries almost all our books).
ARTK12 is Homeschool Curriculum Disguised as Fun.
Kristin J. Draeger
Founder / Author
Kristin has over 20 books in print and has sold over 130,000 books. Her Draw the World series is a homeschool favorite and used by thousands of students across the USA. Her American Art History series has received great reviews from homeschool parents and Rainbow Resource.
Kristin graduated from San Diego State University summa cum laude with a degree in history. For two years she studied painting with the renowned Spanish artist Sebastian Capella. Kristin has also studied with Mandy Theis, a licensed art teacher and atelier-trained artist. Ateliers are art schools that teach realistic drawing and painting skills the way the Old Masters learned them. Kristin will be selling her art in the future.

He holds (yes, it’s in his hands now!) a B.S. degree in Physical Education and a M.A. in Education. He is currently owner of Sweet Thursday Web Development (since 2006) and was fortunate enough to land the ARTK12 website gig after some fairly intense negotiations with the founder.
