Hey there, art-loving homeschoolers! In this episode, we delve into the topic of how to schedule art into your homeschool.
As homeschooling parents, we often feel overwhelmed and overbooked, but it's important to shift our perspective and recognize the true significance of art in our children's education. Art is not just an elective but an essential part of nurturing their creativity and self-expression.
Here are three key takeaways from the episode:
1️⃣ Change how you think: Adjust your view about art and see it as more than just a "nice to have" extra. When we realize how important art has been throughout history, we'll find ways to fit it into our schedules and make it important.
2️⃣ Begin with small steps: Big achievements come from lots of little actions put together. Bringing art into your homeschool can be as easy as a few minutes here and there. It could be a fast art project, a talk at dinner, or a quick visit to an art museum. Remember, even tiny things matter!
3️⃣ Museums made simple: You don't have to spend a whole day at an art museum to make it meaningful. Pick one painting and explore it deeply with your kids. Ask questions, be curious, and enjoy the art together. And if you want, take a small sketchbook and colored pencils to capture your ideas or parts of the artwork!
So, homeschoolers, let's embrace the power of art and make it a regular part of our children's education. Together, we can nurture their creativity and self-expression.
