Art with a Purpose



I decided to spend more money ... haha ... and I ordered three sets of Art with a Purpose, ArtPac 1. At $8.95 each I felt comfortable getting a set for Sugar, Sparkler, and myself. I've read a lot of good reviews on this program, and a few that say it is too crafty and not artsy enough. Since it is for grades 1-8 I thought this would be a good time to give it a whirl, especially since it's so affordable. My girls love all-things-crafty so this seems like a nice way to spend a little time one afternoon, or two, each week together (preferably while Bugs is sleeping). We've already had a lot of time this year drawing with Drawing with Children and Draw Write Now, which we'll continue, so this might be a new spin on art.

I'll give it a thorough review in another week or so ... in case anyone  is curious.

Because of Him.

  2. Hi,
    Thanks so much for commenting. I am VERY excited about MFW. I have a k, 2nd, and two 9th. For our HSrs we will be using a coop for some classes. But I can not wait for my littles to start. I also have neighbor that is considering MFW this year so I am praying that works out. I may have lots of questions as I begin, so thanks for offering advice!! Have a Blessed day.

  3. Megs, Thank you! I'm loving it more. I'm a Wordpress novice, but I do prefer it to Blogger. www.mylivesignature.com. Hugs.

  4. Hi Amanda, What will you be doing next year then with MFW? I'd love to follow your journey ... I think I remember you creating your blog when we were talking about the linking up on the boards. Thank you for reading! It's nice to know others can glean something helpful from our days. BlEsSiNgS! Erin Kate
