As more and more data are collected it is no surprise to educators that the Arts are an important part of education. The integration of Arts<\/span> into the classroom is an important attribute that homeschool families don’t want to miss out on. There are many options for incorporating music<\/span>, art<\/span>, poetry<\/span> and theater<\/span> into your homeschool routine. Music<\/span> lessons, local children’s’ choirs and orchestras, local children’s theaters and on-line opportunities for poetry and storytelling are all great resources<\/span> that we need to be tapping into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying that children<\/span> introduced to music and hands on art show signs of improved memory, improved cognitive abilities along with improved vocabulary. Americans for the Arts<\/span> has put together some interesting information<\/span> on this topic. You can see the report here<\/a>.<\/strong> As science provides data showing the importance of art in the classroom homeschool families really should consider adding it to their busy schedules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know not all homeschool parents are of the creative types. If you are not prone to creativity<\/span> the thought of bringing it into your schedule<\/span> can be daunting and feel like one more subject to squeeze in. Whether you are prone to creative ideas or need a little help in that area I have included<\/span> four FREE<\/strong><\/span> hands on art resources for FREE<\/strong><\/span> art lessons to bring into your day. I hope you find one that works for your family and your schedule. ~ H<\/span>a<\/span>p<\/span>p<\/span>i<\/span>l<\/span>y<\/span> Ho<\/span>me<\/span>sch<\/span>oo<\/span>li<\/span>ng<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
