The Ultimate Guide for Teaching Art in Homeschool

Teaching Art in homeschool is one of those subjects that many will think requires a measure of talent to teach. That simply isn’t true. Art can be taught from many different approaches. It can be taught as a study of famous artists, styles or even history. It can also be taught as a hands-on learning endeavor.

But, whether one is fully artistic or just dabbles in art, it can be a worthwhile subject to pursue. Teaching art in homeschool can be a bit frustrating for moms who feel they have no artistic abilities. You may also find it difficult to find classes available locally.

It’s worthwhile to pursue art because art opens a child’s mind to the world, culture, and can inspire creativity in other areas such as writing, engineering or even science.

Finding Fine Art Locally

I’m a firm believer in seeking out art locally. You may find art in a variety of places but I wanted to give you a few ideas to help you jumpstart your local search for art to explore in your community.

  • Art Museums
  • Local Colleges an Universities
  • Historical Museums or Sites
  • The State Capitol
  • Other Government Buildings
  • Hospitals (Yes, sounds weird, but often a hospital will display marvelous works of art, gallery style, which are donated and later placed for sale or auction, it’s  is one way they might raise money.)
  • Public Schools (Your school’s art classes might host a gallery night which is open to the public).
  • Fairs/Festivals 
  • Local Architecture

Art isn’t just about crafty things, although crafting can be considered an art. It can be taught simply or it can be a full unit study spanning a variety of genres.

Studying an artists life and works can be a jumping point to studying culture, history, music and more.
