Hey there, art-loving homeschoolers! In this week's episode we're diving deep into the importance of art, even the art we don't remember. 

I stumbled upon a powerful quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that really struck a chord with me. He said, "I cannot remember the books I have read any more than the meals I have eaten. Even so, they have made me." 

This quote inspired me to reflect on how experiencing art with our kids, even at a young age, can have a profound impact on their development.

Remember, simplicity is key. Choose one painting or piece of art to focus on, allowing your child to truly engage and appreciate its beauty. By intentionally looking and reflecting on a single artwork, the experience becomes more impactful and memorable than rushing through a museum or flipping through pages of an art book.

So, how will you bring a little bit of beauty and art into your homeschool routine? I'd love to hear your ideas and experiences. Connect with me on Instagram @arthistorykids and tag me in your posts.


Let's inspire each other and continue to nurture our children's artistic minds, even if they won't remember every detail. Art has the power to shape them in ways we can't even imagine.

Stay curious and keep exploring the world through an artistic lens. I'll be back next week with another episode of The Homeschool Art Revolution. Happy homeschooling!
