There are a number of good home school art curricula that can support parents in this area. Select one that has basic, easy instructions on how to draw, paint, and so forth. Be sure the one you choose has the type of projects you wish your children to participate in: crafts, drawing, painting, art appreciation, etc. The curriculum should also address several age levels, including those of your children. You will then need to direct the lessons and encourage your children. If you participate yourself, you can teach the children that perfection, or even minimal talent, isn't necessary. The most important lesson for them to learn is that trying and enjoying are goals in themselves, regardless of the quality of the products produced.","datePublished":"2007-02-10","dateModified":"2011-03-08","author":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/author\/admin\/#Person","name":"More4kids","url":"https:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/author\/admin\/","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/0c318cf0fb78965d8833308775be2cdc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/0c318cf0fb78965d8833308775be2cdc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","height":96,"width":96}},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"More4kids International","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"http:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/m4k-logo-60.png","url":"http:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/m4k-logo-60.png","width":60,"height":60}},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"http:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/m4ktwitter.jpg","url":"http:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/m4ktwitter.jpg","width":281,"height":281},"url":"https:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/39\/fine-arts-for-homeschooled-children-1\/","commentCount":"1","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/education.more4kids.info\/39\/fine-arts-for-homeschooled-children-1\/#Comment1","dateCreated":"2007-02-13 14:31:36","description":"thank you for writing such a succinct piece on art and homeschooling.\r\nI just submitted a post I wrote on the weekend on this same topic.\r\nCudos to you for speaking about learning technique, and not simply expecting talent to be the only factor in creating!\r\n\r\nI would like to make a link to this post on mine, if you have no objections.
