Redeeming the Arts: Why Music and Art Education are Essential for Christian Homeschoolers Is it possible for Christians to redeem the arts from our “woke” culture? Increasingly, it seems the arts – especially popular music, theater, movies, art movements – are filled with immoral and satanic references (or even blatant perversion and satanic rituals, which the culture celebrates.) So should we, as Christian homeschool parents, even bother with music and art education or involve our children in the arts? Yes! Music and art are powerful gifts from God that reflect His beauty and creativity, and they have the potential to…

Hi there! My name is Roy Lichtenstein. I am an artist who helped start the genre of Pop Art. I was born in New York City in 1923. Growing up, I was interested in drawing and science and the way mechanical things worked. I lived near the American Museum of Natural History, so I spent hours exploring the exhibits of dinosaurs, plants, animals, bugs, mummies, stars and planets. I read science magazines and listened to radio programs – if you can believe it, there was no such thing as television when I was a boy – and my favorite radio…

Hello there.  My name is Andrew Wyeth. I was born in 1917 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the youngest of five children. I was raised in a family dedicated to art. My father was a famous painter and illustrator of children’s books. Perhaps you’ve read one of the books N.C. Wyeth, my father, illustrated, like The Pilgrims, Treasure Island, or Kidnapped. My brothers and sisters became artists, engineers, and musicians, and a generation later my son, Jamie, has become an important artist. I guess you could say that art runs in the family! Because of my delicate health as a child,…

Hi, folks! My name is Norman Rockwell. I was born in New York City in 1894. I grew up in a neighborhood where all the boys played sports—all the time! My older brother Jarvis was the best athlete in the neighborhood. Then there was I. I was skinny and couldn’t play sports to save my life. Thankfully, I had my own special talent. I could draw and paint really well. In fact, when I was sixteen I left high school to attend art school at the Chase Art School and eventually at the Students Art League. One of my favorite…

Hello, children, I am Georgia O’Keeffe.  I am an American modern realist painter of the Precisionist movement who is best known for my large close-up paintings of flowers… …and my paintings of the New Mexico landscape. I was born in 1887 in Wisconsin. From an early age, I noticed colors, patterns and light. My father taught me to notice how changes in seasons changed the way the land and sky looked. Though I attended school in a one-room schoolhouse, I also took art lessons in town. I learned to copy other artists’ works, which is a good way to start, but…

Good morning, children. I am Anna Mary Robertson Moses, but that is kind of a mouthful, don’t you think? So you can call me Grandma Moses. That’s what everybody calls me now, as I am almost 100 years old! I was born in 1860 in New York and I had so many adventures with my nine brothers and sisters on our farm there. That was so long ago when we could run all over the forests and hills, spent time together washing clothes,… …picking apples,… …and making apple butter,… went sledding and ice skating in the winter. My father would…

Bonjour! I am Berthe Morisot, and I am a woman painter! This is the Berthe Morisot biography for kids! I was born in and always lived in France. When I was 16, my mother paid for me to take art lessons… …but I was barred from the famous art school because I am a female, not a male. They only wanted male students. But I often went to the Louvre – you know, the famous museum in Paris – to copy the Old Masters. Perhaps you’ve heard of some of the Old Masters? You know, like Giotto, …Ghiberti, …Fra Angelico,…
