Home Art Studio

I stumbled across Home Art Studio a few weeks ago and simply loved it. I think this is a great addition to a homeschool program!  It gives instruction right in the comfort of your own home.  I do not homeschool all my kids, (my daughter goes to school) but I loved the idea of having an art teacher teach my child about art. 

This particular time we did the "Happy Sun."  It was alot of fun to watch my kids create their own "different" sun.  I included my older daughter and my almost 3 year old {whom, I helped alot}  

 We loved this DVD!  The reasons we loved it; first she doesn't just show you how to draw or paint, she explains why and how and even facts about animals or artists.  In the Happy Sun, she helps you remember primary colors and how to make orange from red and yellow.  She also is aware she is teaching children. Second the art is age appropriate.  We got the Kindergarten one but I looked on her website where she offers free lessons and seen some of her other work.  She knows that kids grow with the age and grade level.  Projects get more complex and she teaches more technique to help the child improve and enjoy art.

Our creations. (the smiles and eyes didn't show up well on the picture) The top one was my 7 year old, middle was my 5 year old, and bottom is my 3 year old's.  They are similar but oh so different.  My kids we able to follow the instructions but make each project their very own.  I love all of them!

BUY IT!!  Home Art Studio is available online for $24.99-$29.99.  She has several DVD's depending on your child's grade K-5th.
