Homeschool art is popular among homeschoolers. Most homeschoolers I know do at least a little bit of art studies in their homeschool. I think one of the reasons some hold back is because they do not know how to get started. There are so many fun things you can do in homeschool art like try to paint like a famous painter, color pictures of famous paintings, put puzzles together of famous paintings or even play art "go fish". This page is designed to help you get started with your homeschool art.

In My Home...

In my home, I have played art concentration with my little guy. He really enjoys it and it also helps work on memory skills with your children. I made the art concentration game by using half sized index cards and using art stickers on the back of them. I made sure I had two of each design. We also have the Van Gogh and Friends art go fish game.  That is fun for  children to play.  We have a really nice puzzle of Van Gogh's Starry Night that is challenging to put together. I have coloring books of the masters and I just bought the book Art Fraud Detective. I think my little guy is going to really love that book! Art studies doesn't have to be boring, they can be quite fun! They also don't need to be a long drawn out, textbook based subject. Have fun with it!

I suggest adding a section on intergrating art into other curriculm areas. It runs into all the humanties why do one topic when a lesson can cover various topics intergrated which often helps learners.
