Taking Some of the Chaos Out of Homeschool Art Time {video}

Although most homeschool moms would be quick to acknowledge the many benefits of scheduling a weekly art time, many are naturally reluctant to make it a priority. Let's face it...sometimes art time comes with a lot of chaos. And who wants to add more of THAT to the day?!

While I can't guarantee that art time will be mess-free, I think I can offer you one quick tip that has helped me be more prepared for art and therefor more WILLING to make it a weekly event in our home.

Just as a quick side note, While I think it is an EXCELLENT program, I have decided NOT to use Artistic Pursuits 2 in the coming school year. I think there is definite value in an art curriculum that focuses on artist studies and will plan on using this VERY art program someday. That being said however, I think there is equal value to including a "just for fun" element into the school day, as well...one that focuses on a SKILL and not a FACT. This is especially true if you have right-brain learners that may or may not naturally excel at the traditionally academic elements of school...like a historic artist study.

    Homeschooling can be a fulfilling experience, but it can also be hectic due to juggling multiple topics, dealing with diverse children, and adjusting to workload. To reduce stress, create a schedule with anchor points like start, break, and end times, and develop processes that work for your family.new jersey divorce attorney

    Homeschooling can be made more efficient by creating an adaptable schedule, organizing your space, and simplifying curriculum selections. Create a daily or weekly plan for fundamental topics, unstructured play, artistic endeavors, and relaxation periods. Keep supplies organized and keep a peaceful area for instruction. Choose a core curriculum for foundational disciplines and add as needed.motorcycle accident
