The Heart of Harmony

Summary:

A veteran homeschooler of 12 years, Barb gives weekly art lessons and Green Hour Challenges for other homeschoolers to use.

Description:

This is great! Barb, AKA Harmony Art Mom, lends her homeschooling experience to you, giving you art, nature and music lessons, ideas and resources. All contained within her blog, The Heart of Harmony, Barb tries to make art easy to teach and interesting to the kids.

Her site features Sketch Tuesday. On Tuesdays she gives an "assignment" to be completed by the following Monday. If a picture or scan is emailed to her she will feature those pictures on her next assignment post. My kids look forward to each weeks tasks and really look forward to their sketches/drawings on the blog each week. Anyone can join in Sketch Tuesday at anytime...no pressure.

Check out her sidebar for lessons using different mediums, Charlotte Mason ideas, sketch and art ideas as well as general homeschooling ideas. Her 12 years of experience really shine!

Barb just recently started The Green Hour Challenge. I am not familiar with this particular challange as we have not yet started, but from what I see it really gets you and your kids "into" nature. She gives a number of assignments that takes you out and into nature. She will have you collecting, sketching, touching, feeling, sensing and living nature in a way that is fun and delightful. There is also a link to free notebooking pages made by Jetihoja Academy to go with each of the challenges.

I have just touched upon the surface of what Barb has to offer you on her site. Click on over and have fun exploring!
