 ARTFUL ADVENT!

A Fresh Approach to Advent this year

...What do you most want to celebrate in the rush of the Christmas season?


Date:
Advent, 2007
From: Michelle Geffken

Isn't it easy to lose sight of Christ in the chaos of Christmas?

Imagine if you could take a break from the busyness ...
Make rich memories with your children ... And best of all ...

Open your children's eyes to the reality of Christ's birth!

Now I know you're busy but ...

What if I showed you a simple way of using resources you already own, to unlock learning you'll be amazed by, during the season of Advent?

Learning that would not only open a world to your children about CHRISTMAS ... but also about ART ...


You've really got me thinking about the lack of art education in our home.   You have some wonderful ideas I had not thought of which are easy to implement and will help us teach the true Christmas story and art!  Yahoo!

Evelyn M., WA

The story is so full of drama!
It's not surprising that some of the greatest artists in history have chosen to paint the birth of Christ.

"But I've always struggled to include art in my homeschool!"

Last year over 1500 homeschool parents like you answered our survey about their greatest challenge teaching art at home. 

The number ONE issue we found was (and if this is you, be encouraged that you're not alone!):

 

"No one taught ME art ... so how am I
supposed to teach MY CHILDREN?!"

I've encountered the same frustration.  My six children have stuck with me through all our trial and error! 

After over ten years of searching I've found some grace-filled answers, and a way of teaching art that is so painless ... and do-able ... You know how it is once you hear something and think ... why didn't anyone tell me that before?!


Using ARTFUL ADVENT! will start you on the road to confidence and success with art in your homeschool.


  • Ideas you can apply all year - finally get art into your homeschool!
  • Specific questions to ask - that teach your child to look carefully ... with no guess work for you.
  • The best LIVING books - you may own many of them but you'll be amazed what you can teach from them!

You have given me lots of ideas on how to use the beautiful art books we do have. While we look at illustrations in books, I don't always know how to direct a conversation about the picture with my children.

I like art, but I LOVE books, so I really appreciate the book recommendations. Thanks again for adding pleasure to my busy day.

One thing I liked was the breakdown by age. This saves me time and energy getting all my children involved in something they will enjoy.

This book is very informative and gave me resources I didn't know about. I am a mixed media and book artist who is always looking for ways to incorporate art into our home education.

Thanks for the terrific resource.
