Art is a very important part of our home education. Art not only teaches about methods, media, and artists. It helps develop the creative part of the brain which can help in all other areas of study. I have, also, found that adding art to our homeschool day adds life to our studies and something active to take part in. Our kids are better students when we make time for art. I can certainly tell when we leave it out.

One of our favorite homeschool art studies has been through the Chalk Pastel ebooks. These are wonderful guided lessons that can make an artist out of anyone – even this biologist who can’t make stick people that resemble stick people! I am amazed at the art we have created!
