One easy way to add a little art to your home-school curriculum is to visit museums. Find out when the museum has a home-school day or free day to visit. Visit the gift shop after your tour and let the kids select a few postcards. I buy simple black or white frames from Walmart for about one dollar. Sometimes, we print photos from trips on Snapfish to use as art, too. The price of postcards does vary at museums; I don’t think I’ve paid more than $2 for a postcard. The kids will learn about artists they like and have souvenirs which won’t cost a fortune. Right now, I’m admiring Maud Lewis’s art from a museum in Halifax, Canada. Your kids will be able to tell other kids about the artist and the museum collections.
