Looking at My Own Work

Yesterday, I wrote about Art Journaling About Homeschooling, and it really made me think about the lesson plans I have in place for my nephew. He’s going to be starting his homeschool journal next week (we’re starting him out on this process gradually, and next week will be the start of week three), so I thought I would incorporate “art” into his journal as part of his art credit.
I’ve also thought about “arting up” my lesson plan book. I have the standard lesson plan book found in most classrooms and, while it’s functional and serves its purpose exactly the way I need it to . . . the creative side of me wants to draw and color all over the pages. So, I’m thinking I need to create an art journal about homeschooling for myself. I love adding creativity to my days, and it will serve as a good example for the pages my nephew will be creating. I’m going to start mine this week, though, so he can have a visual when I’m explaining the process to him.
Yeah! An opportunity for art! I’ve been talking about finding artistic opportunities for how long now? I feel like a broken record, and I’m sure I sound like one. So, this is going to be it . . . I’m going to incorporate art journaling in with my homeschooling lesson plans and routines. There. I have found a solution! Now, it’s time to do the happy art dance. Will I actually dance? Okay, fine . . . I’m dancing in my mind!
