Art

Art is always discounted at Schoolhouse Publishing!

I am not an artistic person, but I can draw a figure that is recognizable enough for a good game of Pictionary.   However, over the years, I've tried to be consistent to develop what little natural ability I have and to use it to increase our frugality (make it myself, fix it, or improve it) and to gift others.  I can sew (including all kinds of needlework), decorate cakes, and do basic types of painting (such as stenciling).  Though I'll never be a "professional" artist, these skills have enriched my life and blessed those around me.  I say all this to encourage you to include art in your homeschool student's repetoire.  Those skills build confidence, develop the eye, and add beauty to one's life.  Believe me when I say that anyone can learn basic art.  Check out the programs we have listed here.

This is the seventh of a seven book series (K-6th grade) providing instruction in italic handwriting. We recommend Book G for students in the sixth grade and beyond (although older students might prefer our more comprehensive book for adults "Write Now"). The final book in the series contains practice paragraphs acquainting the student with a brief history of the origins of our letters, from cave paintings to copperplate.

Each picture is broken down step-by-step, then presented in full color. Each picture also gives a copywork story based on the event pictured.
