The paintings below were done by homeschooling
students on "paint cards". These are 8 1/2 x 11 card
stock paper with the illustrations already printed on them.
The purpose of these exercises is to teach the students the
academics of painting & color theory. Paint cards are
provided with some of our more comprehensive curriculum such
as: I Can Do All Things, Feed My Sheep, God & The History
of Art, and The Book of Many Colors. With our programs we try
to separate painting from drawing so the beginning student
does not have the concerns of setting up his/her composition
thus keeping their focus on the mixing of colors, how to use a
palette, holding a brush, painting with control, and learning
color theory. Students become acquainted with the three
primary colors plus white and, through the use of only these
colors, should learn how to mix and create every color under
the rainbow.
