The Gift of Love: Christmas Story & Art Lessons

 

See The Light Series: Drawing Children to Him presents The Gift of Love an artful telling of the story of Jesus’ birth.  This DVD offers 143 minutes of content: the story, 3 art lessons (creative lettering, colored pencils and chalk technique) as well as some bonus features!  The narration is very easy to listen to; the artwork is beautiful.  The lessons are easy, step by step, anyone can do it!  Recommended for ages 6 and up (art lessons, the story is for everyone).  As well there are some Christmas “Grab and Go” lessons available on their website – www.SeeTheLightShine.com .

 

I haven’t yet shown this DVD to my children.  I hope to do a couple of the lessons with the kids during the month of December, but I wanted to get the word out there about this great product and tool before Christmas, just in case my readers might be interested in purchasing this as a gift or simply as a tool for your own educating / education.

 

 

Not being an artist or even highly interested in such things – I am NOT crafty at all – I have only one complaint… (but it really could just be my lack of education in this area).  In this DVD specifically (they have a whole series of art classes that are GREAT too!!!) the lessons require / recommend some special colored pencils and a black light (both available on their website).  Now, maybe you could get these items at Michaels or another art store.  I don’t know if I can get these things elsewhere, or if I need to buy them from See The Light.  Needless to say, at this point, we do not have these intense pencil crayons or a black light.  These tools do not really prevent the artist from doing the work and creating something marvellous.  It is simply a bonus feature of the artwork itself.  In my opinion.

 

One day I’ll tell you (and show you what we create) from this DVD and from Art Class Volume 1.  (We’ve looked at the first of four lessons and it was about collecting our supplies.  We have most of them.) 

 

OOOOHHHHH, and I’m so excited… In going to find the link for Art Class Volume 1 I discovered an online subscription offer where you don’t have to buy the DVDs, but you can just take the classes online!!!! It’s cheaper and there is less clutter.  And anyone that knows me, knows that I’m trying to get rid of clutter!

 

This just keeps getting better and better.  They take PayPal.  We don’t have a credit card (well, we kinda do now… Canada Post has pre-paid Visas now), but up until this month we didn’t have a credit card and PayPal was my only choice for shopping online!  I LUV that See The Light has PayPal!!!

 

Can you tell I like this product yet?  So go try it out!  You’ll be glad you did.  Maybe I’ll become that artist I once dreamed of being yet!
