TEACHING  ENGLISH THROUGH ART

This book is a delightful change from a workbook approach to teaching English. We have revised this very popular book for the first time in 12 years, making it a cutting edge book for visual and kinesthetic learning. Your kids who hate writing will love this approach. It is a supplement that has over 200 pages of ideas and visuals to inspire writing. After you have completed a lesson on the different kinds of sentences in comic strip mode, you design a puppet and write your own monologue; learn the vocabulary words describing different facial expressions while drawing them; and create your own letterhead while writing letters in correct form are just three of the included lessons. A section on using reference materials is included with drawing six famous people using the grid. We also have added a portion on famous writers who were also artists such as Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Lewis Stephenson. Comparing and drawing a conjunction with a bridge; writing haiku and concrete poetry; and poems that describe pictures are just some of the fascinating ideas. Interesting and inspirational pictures are included to inspire writing the different types of paragraphs and the elements of a story.

TEACHING  HISTORY THROUGH ART

This book ties in great works of art and architecture with history because a culture's art gives knowledge about what the society was like. The history of the color purple, cave art, Stonehenge, The Code of Hammurabi Stone, Egyptian art, glass, Christian art in the Catacombs, Vienna Genesis, Augusta Primaporta, and many great artists and works of historical art are included in this book. Makes a great supplement to Diana Waring's Ancient Civilizations and the Bible. Hands on fun projects follow each lesson. Bronze foil included for study of bronze age art project. Two history time lines are included. This book would be easy to incorporate into any history study, particularly the literature-based programs from Greenleaf Press, Beautiful Feet, Sonlight, or Hillside Academy.

TEACHING  SCIENCE THROUGH ART

This newly revised text has over seventy exciting lessons that combine science and art! A complete calendar/mammal study lesson section is included. Study the science of a sunset, and then do a pastel of the sunset. Look at a Leonardo da Vinci invention, and then draw your own similar invention idea. Learn how to draw a pig, and then study some scientific facts about pigs. The idea here is to combine science facts and art projects to delight your students. You can use this as a supplement to your science program. Geared to your visual or kinesthetic learners.
