Homeschool

25 Aug

A second year of pandemic schooling has started, and although some schools are open and operating as usual, many are choosing operate in a more restrictive manner. As veteran homeschoolers, these choices have little effect on us. We have found ways to adapt and we are happy to share them with you! One way to still get a variety of experiences, and to provide various interactive lessons, is to turn to digital. Now, I'm not a huge fan of digital over reality, but this is a time when we all need to compromise! I would...

I've had a small amount of training in professional photography. I've taken classes in college, and much more significantly I found a mentor who, for several years, taught me more than any college class could. Now as I begin to teach my homeschooled children about photography, I wanted to first address some myths that come with this subject, and to pass on some truths. In an effect not to overwhelm, I narrowed it down to three points. What are the three fundamentals of photography? 1. There is beauty everywhere. Take the time to find the beauty and create...

Making a print with sun sensitive paper is a very simple and fun way to introduce your kids to the idea of photographic paper and how chemicals and light can create a print on paper. We've just started a study of photography in our homeschool, and I wanted to give my kids a hands-on experiment to demonstrate how to create prints with sun-sensitive paper.

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...

As a homeschooling Mom, one of my core beliefs is that the arts are equally as important as the sciences. If you follow the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you will probably recognize her quote: “We recognize that the power of appreciating art and of producing to some extent an interpretation of what one sees is as universal as intelligence, imagination, nay, speech.” (Volume 6 of the Home Education Series)Charlotte Mason (Volume 6 of the Home Education Series) Art (Artist Study or Picture Study, as we tend to call it) is undeniably a source of joy and enjoyment. ...

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...
