Explore with your children and embark on a year in art!
Exploring is one of the greatest parts of doing art with your children. But oftentimes the biggest hurdle to overcome is not knowing what to draw. I feel that way often when I sit down with pens or pencils and a thick stack of paper. I have heard my kids voice the same frustration time and again over the years.
This amazing book from Walter Foster Publishing takes you through a new project to work on for every week of the year. You don’t have to force yourself, or your children, into a rigid timetable that involves daily activities and will likely end in failure. Face it, how many times have you set up a schedule for yourself or your children that is simply over ambitious and it ends in a blazing ball of failure after just a week or two?
Join your kids and create a year in art!
This book will guide you and your children through week by week, practicing all sorts of art and learning new techniques along the way. At the end of it all you will have enjoyed each other and shared special time together, and your children will have completed a homeschool art class!
