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...

If you've ever considered the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education, you should be familiar with this list. If homeschooling is new to you, read on, as the adoption of these principles in your home and parenting can change your life. At the beginning of her Home Education Series, Charlotte Mason lists what she calls "a short synopsis of the educational theory" which she presents in her books. It consists of the 18 powerful core principles of a Charlotte Mason education. 1. Children are born persons. 2. They are not born either good or bad, but with possibilities for good...

The one response I get EVERY SINGLE TIME from people when asked about homeschooling is: “I couldn’t never do that. I don’t have the patience.” Each time, I want to respond “Um…  Have we met?!” If you know me at all, you will know that I am probably the least patient person on the planet. So yes, homeschooling is a constant challenge to me because of this. But, because of the incredible benefits of homeschooling, I am always looking for ways to create a stress-free homeschool day. Stress management is super important for me. I have a pretty intense job as a nurse. I work 12...
