Homeschool Art Lessons

I truly admire all those homeschoolers out there!!! I don't think I could have ever done that with my own children. Perhaps the art education but not all the other subjects and having kids home all day long. 

This is what made me start thinking about "Kids Art Classroom" .... thinking about all teachers and homeschoolers that need to teach art and do not have an art background. This can be very scary! I have talked to several teachers and done research on my own and the amount of solid, educational art lessons out there is pathetic. 

Kids Art Classroom is the place where you will find some truly tested and thoroughly though through art lessons that are easy to teach, fun to do and educational. Not just a craft!!!

Come take a peek at the new website! we have 4 brand NEW lessons ready for you to try out on your kids this summer and you will be amazed at what they will create. Art education in my opinion starts already in Kindergarten.

Finally!!!

Kids Art Classroom is open for business

Time to celebrate, time to shout it from the rooftops!!!! From now on there will be NEW art lessons available at Kids Art Classroom as PDF downloads and within the next month you will find our lessons as magazines. All very exciting. You can also find Kids Art Classroom's blog here.
This post is from my iPhone and art free (sorry) but I hope to have more images for you very soon. Have a great rest of your Sunday. I am trying not to be annoyed by the World Cup horn buzzing ;)

Summer is here...

Summer is here and I am not having much luck on the painting front. The deadline for my illustrations is drawing near and takes up most of my time. Kids ART Classroom is moving along as well, the first event only weeks away. As soon as I have my illustrations all done and ready I hope to get back to painting again. 

Funny how I thought that being done teaching art for the summer I would have all this time to paint.... 

Hope your summer is all you want it to be.

Taking a break for a few days....

I am out of town for a few days with my youngest daughter for some much needed Mother Daughter time...

 

We are borrowing my oldest daughter and her husbands apartment for a few days while she is is Sweden and Paris for a few weeks and her husband working.Enjoying some 90 degree heat, pool, shopping and movies...

"LIFE IS GOOD"

Kids ART Classroom blog is on the air....

I just published my first blog post on "Kids ART Classrooms's" blog...

I have no followers and no history but... I have a ton of art lessons up my sleeve...

Come by and take a peek, I am only days away from launching our website. 

If you need ART LESSONS for kids your know where to go.

 

Kids ART Classroom

Seems like it has been forever since I painted :( .  School is over and I thought I would have all this extra time to paint. Instead I am over my head in illustrations and Kids ART Classroom. I do love every minute of my work but wish oh wish I had more time to paint.

It really feels like summer here in Northern California these days, nice cool nights and almost hot days. I need to water my plants again and we use the grill out back several times a week. I love this time of year.

Latest update on Kids ART CLASSROOM...

We have found a great online publisher to help us with the sales of our art lessons....

We have a magazine publisher lined up.....

Our website will be launched this coming weekend (so excited)...

We have been invited to attend the CHN Family Expo August 5-8...

We have also been invited to attend (still debating if we will) the HSC Conference August 21-22...

Found the online publishing site...

I have finally found what I have been looking for.... a really cool online place to publish my art lessons. It was getting way to complicated to create shopping carts etc. on our website so we have been hunting for a custom publisher for a while now. We found it last night... more to come on that soon since we are only days away from launching.

Did some painting but not as much as I would have liked. Between Kids Art Classroom and illustrations there is hardly any time to paint.

Summer is finally here and we are having some almost hot days....good thing I have a fan in my studio. 

It is Friday today!!! tomorrow my youngest daughter has a soccer tournament 30 min. away at 8 am :(. We have to arrive at 7 am....getting up at 5:45 on a Saturday sounds like fun (not).

Live Love Laugh

It feels like summer today! Not too warm and not too cold... just perfect. Woke up with a migraine but was able to medicate and sleep it off by 11 am. It has been 1,5 week since my last migraine so that is a huge step forward. 

Painted the other day.... and did some fun collage work...

You can find these for sale in my store

Jeanette's Folk Art

Having illustration block :( Seem to have lost both my confidence and ability to draw. The deadline is creeping closer each day... and I am at a point where I feel like I am not moving forward. Overwhelmed I guess....with lots of sketches but no final work.

Why complain!!! it really is silly since I have the best of all lives right now.  Summer break from teaching, weather is amazing, youngest child out of school next week, middle child off to college in  2 months, oldest child graduated college last week...
