Art Enhances Learning in All Subject Areas
"You Can Do It! ART"--Watercolor
| Welcome Homeschoolers and Students of all ages! Art is a natural part of every subject! |
| Science: observation, color, shape, size, behavior, recording, diagrams, illustrations, features, record-keeping. Study the features in the photo above. Is it easier to draw/paint it-- or to describe in words how it looks (no fair using your hands while you talk!) Sometimes a drawing records details better than a description. (Isn't that what we mean when we say "a picture is worth a thousand words"?) |
| Homeschooling is a demanding and rewarding experience. Your focus is to provide excellent education and enrichment for your students, to meet or exceed college entrance requirements, and to promote lifelong learning. Art experiences contribute much toward these goals, especially for the reluctant or struggling student. To help you, the "You Can Do It! ART" DVDs teach professional watercolor techniques in relaxed, creative sessions that are easily applied in subjects throughout your curriculum studies. Using art in the process of learning, by illustrating, diagraming, drawing, or some other creative expression personalizes the subject matter and helps it "stick"! Combining art experiences with subjects like math, science, geography, and reading enhances your students' understanding and engages them in ways beyond the traditional curriculum left-brain approach to learning. For students who are more right-brain-dominant in their thinking and learning style, integrating art in other subjects is refreshing and energizing, and feels like a life-line (for both you and your student!). With "You Can Do It! ART" lessons, you learn professional watercolor techniques that stand alone as fine arts lessons. Emphasis is on individual expression and creativity. No sense of failure! The DVD lessons strongly teach, "Be adventurous, nothing is wrong; you're experimenting to learn." . Finally, the watercolor lessons, used just for creative art purposes, give emotional relief from stress that can build up during "brain stretch" in academic studies. Sometimes the brain needs relief from mental challenges! Relaxing, fun, creative art provides it. The lessons work for students of all ages. The DVDs do all the teaching. You don't need to have any previous art experience to learn how to use watercolors to paint expressively and enrich learning times. |
