Homeschool Moms: Why I Wrote This Art Curriculum (And Why It Might Be Exactly What You’ve Been Looking For)

I spent days—no, weeks—searching for an art curriculum that actually made sense for my son. I didn’t want something overwhelming or filled with obscure supplies. I didn’t want a curriculum that treated art like a checklist of projects to copy. I just wanted something real. Something that would teach him the fundamentals, build his confidence, and let him make art that felt like his.

A quick Flip-Through of the Art Fundamentals Workbook

And after turning the internet upside down and coming up short, it hit me—why am I trying to find someone else to teach my kid what I already know how to do?

I’m a professional artist. I’ve worked in digital, painting, sculpture, even comics. I’m a teacher. I know how to break things down in a way that works. So I sat down, opened a publishing program I’d never used before, and poured it all out.

325 pages. In one month.

It was like this book had been waiting inside me all along. It’s written exactly the way I talk to my own child—encouraging, clear, and focused on growth, not perfection. Every lesson builds on the last. Every activity gives your child space to try, to explore, to make it their own.

You don’t need fancy supplies—just pencils and colored pencils. You don’t need to hover or micromanage. Some parents do a page a day as a gentle start to their homeschool routine. Others sit down with all their kids and do it together. I’ve even had moms buy the book for themselves—as a way to reconnect with their own creativity.

This isn’t about making pretty projects that look like a Pinterest board.

It’s about teaching kids how to see like an artist. How to think, explore, and express.

It’s about building confidence and giving them something that’s theirs.

I hope it helps your family the way it’s helped mine.
