Teach Me Tuesday: Art for your homeschool

One area that I slack in for our homeschool is the area of The Arts - all mediums included. I try, I plan, I find the resources, but somehow we don't make the time for it. This year will be different!

I needed to find a medium that the kids like and has a quick turn around and good return. I think I found it!

Pastels! We have chalk and oil but the kids seem to prefer the chalk so I am sticking with that for now.

I am excited to have found a 45 week course for the kiddos (and me) that we can do at our leisure and our own pace. All levels included. Thanks to chalkpastel.com.

I was so excited, I started on my own this week!

With all the snow that so many states are getting and blowing up my Instagram feed, I thought appropriate to follow this tutorial on the video art course.

It took me through step by step and I was done in 10 minutes. Perfect for the 10 minute break I had before the kids needed me.

Here is what you get in this fabulous course:

A whole year of video art tutorials

45 tutorials in all — one lesson a week for an entire school year. Two semesters!
Affordable – lessons from a Master Artist!
Enjoy from the comfort of your home.
Simple supply list. Just add paper and a set of chalk pastels! (No lengthy, expensive list)

I recommend checking out You Are An Artist Video Art Course at chalkpastel.com (affiliate link)

Great deal at Amazon for these chalk pastels!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere! I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.
