More About All About Art, a Basic Art Course for Homeschoolers

Art is a vast field of study; there are so many different kinds of art and ways to make it. These All About Art basic art course lessons demonstrate that there is no one way to produce art or that one way is right while another is wrong. Elementary homeschool students are encouraged to be brave and experiment with it. Part of the joy of art is the freedom to make unique expressions. Lesson designer Kiana Thompson urges students to pray to the Lord while they are creating and ask Him to show them things. She relates that some of her best ideas have come from when she has prayed and talked with the Lord or studied His Word. He is the Creator of all; surely He will help young art students create as well, opening their eyes to things unseen.
