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.

You have such awesome lists for all of your 5 days posts! I'm pinning all of them to save for reference. Thanks for all the work you put into making your lists! My favorite art blog for ideas is Deep Space Sparkle. She has some fun projects to help this not very creative mama out!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Deep Space Sparkle is a gem of a website. Added :)
DeleteYou're welcome :) I've enjoyed putting these together this week.
My fave category of homeschooling.....well, after literature and science, well, and history...... :) I am going to see if I can find that Handel book thru Interlibrary Loan. We don't have it in our library but I so love his music..and how fun would it be to read a book alongside the beautiful music!
DeleteChareen, thank you SO much for assembling all the links. You are still a rock star! :)
