Sometimes I long for the simple life. As an artist, the most low-tech thing I can think of is one of my favorite tools: the pencil.

My recommendations cover three parts of the field trip: before you go, while you’re there, and after you return.

Art is an essential part of a well-rounded curriculum, as it adds so much value to the learning (and the life) experience.

One of my favorite projects to do with children is a painting project in the style of the abstract expressionist Morris Louis.

A general understanding of what is involved in art education is probably more valuable to the homeschooler than any artistic talent.
