E-book Title: Artful Advent
Author: Michelle Geffken
Book Description: A Fresh Approach to Advent this year ...
What do you most want to celebrate in the rush of the Christmas season? From: Michelle Geffken Isn't it easy to lose sight of Christ in the chaos of Christmas? Imagine if you could take a break from the busyness ...
Make rich memories with your children ... And best of all ...
Open your children's eyes to the reality of Christ's birth! Now I know you're busy but ...
What if I showed you a simple way of using resources you already own, to unlock learning you'll be amazed by, during the season of Advent?
Learning that would not only open a world to your children about CHRISTMAS ... but also about ART ... The story is so full of drama!
It's not surprising that some of the greatest artists in history have chosen to paint the birth of Christ.
"But I've always struggled to include art in my homeschool!"
Last year over 1500 homeschool parents like you answered our survey about their greatest challenge teaching art at home.
The number ONE issue we found was (and if this is you, be encouraged that you're not alone!): "No one taught ME art ... so how am I
supposed to teach MY CHILDREN?!" I've encountered the same frustration. My six children have stuck with me through all our trial and error!
After over ten years of searching I've found some grace-filled answers, and a way of teaching art that is so painless ... and do-able ... You know how it is once you hear something and think ... why didn't anyone tell me that before?!
