Do you have a budding artist in your home? A child who loves to draw and create pictures? How about a homeschooler looking for an easy way to implement art in your home? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the You Are an Artist Clubhouse Membership is for you!

I am not an artist, in fact, I don’t even really like creating art myself. But none of that matters because my children still need to be exposed to art, learn about art, and create art. As with many subjects in our homeschool throughout the years, I have found that I can’t teach everything. The upside of that is the numerous amounts of resources out there to help me with subjects I struggle with.

Many years ago I discovered an art resource that we have loved and used throughout the years. What started out as Southern Hodgepodge with written art tutorials and accompanying photos has blossomed into the extensive video and book art lesson resources now called You Are an Artist!

Check out some of the fun projects we have created:

Spring Bird Nests as part of our Spring Nature Study
Christmas Chalk Pastels like Gingerbread Men and Angels
Winter Olympic Related projects such as the Olympic Torch and Ice Skates
And so many more like Truffula Trees, Charlotte’s Web, ice cream, and fall trees!
We have used them for an activity at Book Clubs, for nature study, as a fun holiday activity and more!

This is a resource I highly recommend you check out for your homeschool!
