Art in Your Homeschool
Is art education the unsolved mystery in your homeschool? It is for many moms—but it doesn’t have to be if you teach art the Charlotte Mason way!
Albert Einstein said,
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression.”
Charlotte Mason believed art should be a staple in every child’s education, and she explains a simple way to make it easy and effective when she writes:
“There must be knowledge … not the technical knowledge of how to produce, but some reverent knowledge of what has been produced ... children should learn pictures line by line, group by group, by reading not books (about art) but the pictures themselves.”
Making art a part of our children’s education hones their appreciation for the beauty and order God created in this world. It awakens centers in the brain that are often left neglected in today’s education.
Ms. Mason felt there are two parts to art education: Appreciation and Expression.
