    It’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

    Art 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!

    As 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)!!

    Hands 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!

    I 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! ❤️

    I 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!

    Hi! 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!

    We 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!

    Our Clubhouse Membership was the best investment I made for our homeschool this year. I had NO idea when I splurged on the annual membership that we would be sequestered at home all Spring and that we would need daily art activities to keep our hearts happy. We’ve quickly learned how 10-15 minutes of art every day can be the perfect “break” in the day. Today, we talked about where our clothes from, and drew a baby lamb to go along with our discussion. One of the biggest holes in our homeschool had been art, and now, thanks to Nana and Chalkpastel.com, I don't have to worry about it!

    I am a homeschooling mom going on eight years with seven children. Currently, I am homeschooling five of my children, (ages range from five to eleven). My oldest has special needs. And ALL of my children LOVE Nana and her art lessons. They ask if they can "draw with Nana" everyday. I absolutely adore watching my son with special needs follow Nana's lead and learn from her. At the same time, my five and seven year olds are glowing while holding up their newly painted drawings. I love how her lessons can meet the needs of all my children. My daughter is very artistic and this is an excellent way for her to excel in her gift. She also enjoys listening to Nana's sweet voice as she draws. I will have to say that Nana has been a breath of fresh air for our morning bible time art lessons.

    When you have a wide age span it becomes important to find things you can all do together. Not just because it's more efficient, but because it builds up your family culture and relationships. .

    I love that my kids from preschool to precalculus can join together painting at the kitchen table while Nana tells us that we are all artists. And yes, some of them come to the table in leotards because why not?

    For Christmas, we used some of our Christmas money to buy a You ARE An Artist yearly membership. We had done a few freebies off of YouTube and were addicted. I can not say enough amazing things about this program and how it has changed our homeschool. I am homeschooling 5th grade down to a 2 year old. This has been something they can all join in on. We have loved that the space lesson have fit right in with our science this year. My 3rd grader really struggles with geography and mapping. I was so excited to try it in a relaxed fun way with Nana. It has helped him so much. We have loved the preschool lessons as well. I could go on and on.

    It has been a huge blessing to our family and every person in our family (my husband and I included )gets so excited when we do a lesson from Nana!!!
