There are many reasons that we may want to put little art projects aside. My most frequent excuses are "we're too busy," "we didn't even finish our math lesson today," and "I just cleaned the house - we're not about to mess it up again." It wasn't until I firmly decided to do art no matter what, that I realize all of my excuses were simply that - excuses. Art doesn't have to be time-consuming and messy, and it's just as important as math. It can be as simple as rock painting, a beautiful pairing of nature and creativity. We used...

Some of the greatest magic in our homeschool comes from art. Recently, as part of our Homeschool Picture Study, we've been reading about George Seurat and exploring his art. He was instrumental in pioneering the style of art called Pointillism, so we wanted to learn a little more about this style of painting. We will be sharing our pointillism-inspired art projects for children of all ages, from pre-school kids up to homeschool Moms and Dads, who want in on the fun. Our family follows the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason who never advocates simply copying the artist's work, but we...

Although we often continue homeschooling through the summer, we can't resist great weather. We definitively take on a more relaxed approach when the sun comes out. For us, summer is the time to enjoy the little things, the fun things, the finer things, the new things, the curious things, the delicious things. In fact there are so many things that we made a list of 100+ free (or almost free) ideas for summertime activities! Don't let the bucket list, or checklist stress you! While boredom is actually a great thing, these ideas are for the times when you need a...
