Last year I shared with you my Homeschool for FREE list and then updated it in January this year. I have been feeling a little frustrated with it's length and it's been difficult to find the information I want in it so this week I will be sharing shorter lists divided into subject areas.
With the advent of the internet and the generosity of many homeschool mothers there are some amazing resources available for us today.
What is Fine Art
Definition of FINE ART
- art (as painting, sculpture, or music) concerned primarily with the creation of beautiful objects —usually used in plural b : objects of fine art
- an activity requiring a fine skill
On this blog
With our endeavors in delight direct education we are attempting to do something art inspired each week. Our ideas and yours are shared each week in the Virtual Fridge Meme on Thursdays. I would love for you to join us and share some ideas we can do with our children at home.- Artist Study {Claude Monet} this is a complete unit study. I plan on adding more to this series over the next few years.
