Learning on Harris Acres Homestead: Some Creative Lettering…

Well, Kristyn saw me watching that See The Light: The Gift of Love DVD last night and was BEGGING to do one of the lessons. We had time today, so we did the creative lettering activity. The creative lettering lesson is taught by Heidi Shorts and is about 33 minutes long. We took a while longer because we paused the DVD to keep everyone on the same step.

Here’s what our drawings ended up looking like:

It doesn’t show up really well in the photo, but inside the letter O is a drawing of a baby representing Baby Jesus.

Marrissa, age 6

Wyatt, age 5

Rayna, age 3

Wyatt and Rayna kinda did their own thing but I was not going to deny them spending time with us, trying to do what we were doing! They were so proud of their drawings. Cora did not join us this time; apparently a computer game was more important at the time. I have no doubt she’ll join us next time.

I have received a response from See The Light regarding my review post and they have some addition information that they wanted my readers to know! Remember my concern about the black light and the extreme colors??? They addressed that concern as well as let me know about a sale!!!

I want you to know that the art lessons on "The Gift of Love" and on the other Bible stories - "Crossmaker" & "God's Runaway" can be done and enjoyed without the eXtreme colored pencils (made by Crayola and sold in art stores, but sold also on our site for convenience) and without the SEE THE LIGHT black light. You and your readers can also purchase black lights elsewhere, but are often larger and more expensive. So, we do offer it. Kids LOVE LOVE LOVE the POP of the black light with the special pencils and/or fluorescent chalk.

ART CLASS doesn't use the black light or the eXtreme pencils or the fluorescent chalk in any of the 36 lessons. Master artist Pat Knepley does use colored pencils and chalk pastels in some of her later lessons, but not with the black light, etc.

Have a glorious Christmas!!!

JOYfully, because of HIS love,

Pat

If you are interested in seeing your children’s reactions to the black light “POP”, it just might be easiest to order these items from See The Light, but if you live in a bigger center, you probably wouldn’t have an issue finding the pencils or a smaller black light. Thanks, Pat, for that information! I got thinking, too, a black light could be used for many other things, and a good addition to any homeschool supply closet.
