reviewed by Susan HortonI just wanted to tell you how very much we LOVE the lessons with Nana. My 81-year-old mother is a retired art teacher with a master's degree in art education. I didn't inherit her abilities, but my kids did! They love all things art related, and I love all things literature. What you offer is a perfect fit for our homeschool. I have wonderful memories of working with chalk pastels with my mom as a child and now my kids will too, even if their projects are better than mine! Thank You! Thank You!

reviewed by Rachel TurneyOur family is loving this new curriculum! It focuses on picture and music study and incorporates our favorite Disney music. We love the simple weekly lesson plans and suggestions for art appreciation & music books, internet links, and podcasts. Most of all, we love the fun weekly art projects that explore the theme or technique we’re studying.
The curriculum covers 36 weeks and includes 32 artists and 8 composers. My husband and I are both professional musicians and love filling our home with music and art. The lesson plans are simple to implement, yet result in wonderful, rich conversations.

reviewed by Stef LaytonSuch a valuable resource! My son is highly tactile. For him to have the opportunity to chalk out history lessons, science, literature, etc. it has really added more interest to all of our homeschool lessons. It's not just "art time" once in a blue moon anymore. The Membership Calendar has been useful on those sick mom days & summer boredom busters when I'm depleted of ideas. Nana has taken the stress out of planning art lessons. Which has also given me a creative outlet as I enjoy these tutorials in my 40's! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

reviewed by Kristen CroweAs a mom of a newly diagnosed kiddo with severe ADHD and probable dyslexia I am always looking for ways to add a hands-on component to our studies. I also am always look for things that are quick and easy on me, as the mom/teacher. I love that we can always find a "NANA" to add into our studies, whether it be science, history, art history, holiday studies, or Bible. I love that it makes me feel like I've done a huge project with my kids, but in reality it was quick and simple. That's a win/win in my book!

reviewed by Carolina DuntonIt’s that time of year. You know, when you can’t for the life of you figure out where the school year has gone. When you assess where you are, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what needs tweaking. When you get excited about purchasing new curricula & diving into new academic endeavors.
In reviewing our year thus far I can without a moment’s hesitation say that adding art to our curricula has been a game changer. It’s brought color, life, and imagination into our days. It’s exposed us to artists & musicians. It’s taught us history and geography. It’s deepened our bird knowledge and helped us celebrate holidays. It’s brought us together around the table.
Ben painted an interpretation of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night yesterday afternoon. I’m so incredibly happy with how much growth he’s had artistically this year. He’s no longer intimidated by subjects that look hard to replicate. He’s also grown comfortable coming up with his own unique designs. Moreover, he’s taken that confidence and applied it to other academic areas. While I may not have all the things figured out for next school year, I know that continuing our art learning with Chalk Pastel will most certainly continue. Now if only figuring out language arts could be this easy

reviewed by Erin VincentArt has really helped us this year. It has this amazing way of adding a bit of color to our lives while helping us process our thoughts and feelings! Oh, what fun we've had with all of the Christmas and Holiday art lessons, the Famous Artist series of lessons, the exclusive Maps course, and the Adventures through Narnia lessons! We can't wait to dive into the more than 600+ other lessons available through the Clubhouse membership!

reviewed by ShevonneAs a momma to four kids, finding lessons that can meet all my children's needs and interest is hard to find. When we came across lessons from You Are An Artist I was blown away. There is something for everyone (adults included)! My children love the variety of lessons from Seasonal drawings, Holiday themes, to animals and so many more! Honestly, the hardest part about the membership is deciding which lessons to do that day. I love that we can incorporate something they love within our educational studies. The I Drew It, then I Knew It series has a monumental variety of detailed lessons from geography, artist studies, biographies, to History (and so much more). It allows us to add a fun, creative, art lesson that align perfectly with our formal lessons. The videos are so well done, Nana's storytelling and her warm personality makes you feel as if you truly know her. She is encouraging throughout the entire lesson, giving the perfect amount of instructions, while making sure not to overwhelm the artists. We absolutely LOVE her lessons! I can say with 100% certainty that You Are An Artist is perfect for ages 3-35 (and up)!!

reviewed by darbyhawleyHands down! Our favorite art classes are with Nana! I love using her tutorials to bring concepts alive & across disciplines. We took a class on the Roman Coliseum during tea time, because we were studying Italy. Wow, what a relaxing way to talk about Ancient Rome & architecture while using our chalk pastels and drinking tea! I often wonder if my grades in school would have been different if I were learning the way my kids get to linger in so many topics; I could do this every afternoon!

reviewed by Amy SteeleI love that we have hundreds of lessons at my children’s disposal whenever they want to get lost in Nana’s world and do some cathartic art! Beyond an incredible homeschooling resource, our membership is a gift for their soul! Art is vital for mind, heart and soul- well beyond worth the yearly membership and the rich lessons and memories that will come from it! We ARE artists thanks to Nana! ❤️

reviewed by Jennifer CostaI just want to share about a wonderful resource I’ve discovered this year. We’ve been following the chalk pastel lessons at YouAREanARTiST.com for the past few months. We’ve learned not only wonderful art techniques, but have used the art we’ve created to enhance our study of nature, history, poetry, Bible, etc. It’s been a delight to have “art breaks” most days, and enjoy this lovely medium. And the supplies are inexpensive and easy to clean!

reviewed by Amanda GatesHi! I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful video art lessons! My 7 year old, perfectionist son, who has been struggling with anxiety, LOVES doing art lessons with Nana. He feels so proud when he finishes a painting. It is truly the best "therapy" for his mind. Every child should have Nana in their life!

reviewed by Kimberly MercerWe decided to try something new for history this year. We are using a variety of art sources (including the history lessons with Nana from @chalkpastelart and journaling to record what we are learning. Coupled with historical fiction and nonfiction reading, and videos, this has been a delightful way to study American History!

My boys (and I) love art and while they take a weekly art class already, I was looking for ways to use art in other ways. Diagrams in science, nature journaling, and now, history!
While I initially started this membership for the history lessons, we have completely fallen in love with Nana and love to do different lessons from all the categories. I listen to her podcast and get so much peace and joy from her. She's the perfect art teacher for all of us!
