I have found a great Art Resource for adults and children.
And this would work great for homeschoolers.

Jamie Carter, a professional artist who lives in the Paris, Texas area has a free newsletter
that includes a great art lesson in every issue.

Jamie has been a professional painter for over 30 years.
She recently closed her local art gallery and studio, and is now teaching her classes
online.

She has been a friend to homeschoolers for years. Both of my sons took lessons
from Jamie.

Go to her web site at Art Lessons With Jamie. Just fill in your name and email
to sign up to get Jamie’s next issue of her newsletter called “Living the Artistic Life.

She’s also giving away a free report “The 7 Biggest Mistakes an Artist Can Make.”

Make sure you check your email for a message from Jamie and click the link in the email
to confirm that you want to get messages from her. Then you will get an email with a link
to your free report.

While you’re at her web site, make sure you read her articles and her blog called “Sharing
The Artistic Life,” and check out her store. She has great prices on her lessons and there will
be many more lessons to come.

Even though Jamie loves working with homeschoolers, most of her clients are adults
so you might find lessons that you would love to do yourself.

Her newsletter is a mini art curriculum all by itself. It’s worth checking this out.

Certainly one-on-one tutoring is far superior to the classroom approach. Yes, your children will get a personalized education, but that does not mean they will be geniuses. Some students may struggle academically, even if they are homeschooled, but the good news is that with the low student to teacher ratio, your homeschooled students have a great opportunity to be successful.

Getting a quality education is very important, but even more important is the opportunity you have to develop a good, healthy relationship with your children that will last a lifetime. You also have the freedom to choose subjects that your children are interesting in learning. Beyond the basics of reading, writing and math, just think of all the different topics you and your children have to choose from.

Your job is not to teach them everything they will ever need to know. Your job is to help them develop a love of learning, to teach them how to study and to inspire them to be self-directed learners.

Don’t idealize home schooling. Home education is a wonderful plan–I believe it’s a God-given plan, but no situation is always perfect because we’re human. This period in your children’s lives is for their development, but it’s also for your development and growth.

A speaker at the first homeschool seminar  that our family attended said that he believed that one of the reasons God was drawing families to homeschool was to “grow the parents up.”  Boy, is that true. If you allow God to guide and direct your homeschool, you will be placing the lives and plans of your children into His hand, and there is no better place for them to be.

Enjoy the adventure.
