I would like to copy what my daughter, age 8 wrote for her journal time on page 106. She illustrated herself at a table with her art supplies.
"I love art. I do want to be an artist when I grow up. Atleast I'm learning something. Art is fun to learn, because I love it and it is especially fun when it's Christian!"
Two of my sons have completed this book and LOVED it. They are looking forward to starting the Feed My Sheep DVD curriculum. All of these art books are so great; Well laid out; Sequenced perfectly. My sons started out clumsily, but we kept at it and now they have great control (for their ages) over their art.
I love this art curriculum. My seven year old is very creative and loves to draw, but she does not always enjoy following directions. This series has given her more tools to express herself, and she has started using techniques that make her drawings look even better.
I have used I Can Do All Things to teach homeschool art to 3 of my children. The lessons were very easy to teach due to the simple directions for complex subjects, such as figure drawing. Learning techniques for colored pencils improved my kid's creativity. My oldest son, now in public jr. high, won 1 of 6 art awards for 7th grade. I believe using I Can Do All Things helped him.
I can do all things is a great book to start teaching art. I use the lessons for warm-up activities. The children enjoy the cartoon nature of the lessons and they absorb more of the lesson when they enjoy it. Thank you for creating such a great product!!
