Christopher did not have a natural propensity toward art even though my other children seemed to almost be born with berets on their heads and long-handled paintbrushes in their hands, vibrant colorful easels in their midst, and white jackets on their backs. Chris didn’t seem to like art or even want to color despite my encouragement and oodles and oodles of glue sticks, googly eyes, old scraps of materials, prisma colors and so on. Some of Christopher’s friends do not have a natural art inclination either. But don’t lose heart--absolutely anyone can learn art if Christopher can. We have friends with the same story of amazing improvement after using Ginger Himes’ program. Naturally with art, hand-eye coordination and dexterity improves, self-esteem soars with the birds …the birds that your young “artman” or “artgirl” will draw.
Now Christopher’s pencil is faster than a speeding bullet, his pictures are more powerful than a locomotive, and he can draw tall buildings in a single session! He can draw birds, he can draw planes! He's artman!
The lesson can be as fast or as slow as you desire by utilizing the pause button while watching the engaging DVD.
Art does not have to be something that only “artists” do. God’s beauty can shine through your student’s hands! Like music, the faculty of art promotes neurons that synapse from right to left brain parts providing more pathways of learning! More dendrites, dendrites, dendrites! As we learn many concepts of art form, shape, shading, texture and more, we think more productively which eventually enables synthesis of many concepts. So if you want your family to have the precious quiet time to hear the inner plenitudes of God’s calling us through His beautiful world, then pop in an art DVD by Virginia Himes. Live in the present moment with the Lord through God’s incredible miraculous creation! Hop with the bunnies, fly with the birds, and cross over a bridge as they come to life at the tip of your pencil. Watch your “artman” or “artgirl” soar with God’s love, beauty, strength, intellect and more.
God Bless you and Mary keep you,
