A FINE ARTS COURSE FOR INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES
a gentle introduction to fine arts
HOME EDUCATOR, HOMEMAKER, & ART ENTHUSIAST
I know you want to pursue an understanding and appreciate of fine art, but you’ve been struggling to know…
WHERE TO START
You would love to develop your knowledge & appreciation of artists, composers, & poets. You also want to experience the delight that comes from trying new handicrafts & recipes. You know that the appreciation of fine arts is a treasure of the senses that many enjoy. You want to experience this too, but don’t know where to begin.
HOW TO MAKE LEARNING GENTLE & UNHURRIED
You desire to learn in a way that brings joy and doesn’t feel burdensome or heavy. Discovering art, enjoying music, and memorization should be enjoyable. You want your knowledge of fine arts & humanities to be something that impacts your life, rather than simply being a list of boxes to check off.
HOW TO MAKE LEARNING INTENTIONAL & RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
You want to learn, but more importantly you want your learning to develop & strengthen the relationships with people that mean the most to you. You want your experience with fine arts to focus on truth, goodness, and beauty rather than things that feel stale and impersonal.
HOW TO MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH THE PEOPLE & PIECES YOU STUDY
You’ve read about famous artists before but didn’t connect with them as people. You know they have a story, but don’t know how to include it in your learning.
MUSIC, POETRY, ART, SCRIPTURE, NATURE STUDY & MORE
ARE YOU READY TO CULTIVATE YOUR LOVE OF FINE ART ?
A Gentle Introduction to Fine Arts is a thoughtfully curated course for individuals & families.
ALL OF THIS IS WAITING FOR YOU
Imagine how it would feel if you could:
FIND A COURSE THAT IS EASY TO IMPLEMENT AND READY TO GO
A Gentle Introduction to Fine Arts is a full one (1) year fine art course that is truly open-and-go. This course leads you each week through studies in music, poetry, art, scripture, & nature study. Each month also includes a new recipe for you to bake as well as a handicraft to try.
MAKE GREAT STRIDES WITHOUT BEING HURRIED OR STRESSED
In this course, you will rotate through different topics each day, while covering all of the subjects each week. Activities are short, yet meaningful.
The poetry, scripture, and musical composition are read aloud or heard daily. This simple exercise allows you to commit them to memory & recognize them with ease.
NURTURE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE YOU LOVE
Throughout this study there are opportunities to nurture your relationship with the people and environments that are close to you. Moments for connection can be found: while learning truths from God’s word, when acquainting yourself with lines of poetry & music, or even prompted by a creature you observe in nature.
FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALS RATHER THAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS
To truly become acquainted with someone, we must know more about them. This study focuses on the character and lives of the people we study. This is true of our study of Scripture, musicians, poets, and even of ourselves.

LOVELY NOTES
REAL QUOTES FROM REAL CLIENTS
“The offerings focus our minds on truth, goodness, and beauty”
Angie’s fine art bundles have been a favorite of our homeschool life for years. I love the way the offerings focus our minds on truth, goodness, and beauty. The images and ideas in each month’s bundle continue to form the imaginations of my children even as they move into the teen years.
“It adds hope & inspiration to our learning time together.”
In a world that seems so dreary, your collections have been a balm for my soul, even just to look at. I can tell how much thought and care goes into each bundle, it adds hope and inspiration to our learning time together.
“To have a poem come to life for us was so special.”
Recently we took a walk near a local lake. We have been reading this month’s poem every day and had googled the flower names a few days before our walk to see what they look like. On our walk my 5 year old said, “Mom, those are Asters!” and they were. We found goldenrod, too. It was fun to see “Asters by the brook-side”. To have a poem come to life for us was so special.
