“My three boys took this course together as part of our homeschool. We were studying medieval history and this was the perfect fun accompaniment to that, and taught them how to use many art materials they had never used before. We were introduced to pastels and art/drawing techniques and new skills. I also really appreciated the repeated encouragements to the kids that everyone's art is unique to them, that mistakes are redeemable (beautiful oops!), and the emphasis on not being perfect, but on doing your best and being creative. I was really pleased to see how my young children (7, 8, and 8) created such fun artwork. Thanks so much for adding so much fun to our homeschool program this year!”

2. What age group is this course geared towards?

This course is geared towards children in elementary to high school. The younger students might need some guidance/help from the parent to have the videos set up (logging in to the website and getting the supplies out). You know your child! For the most part, students should be able to grab their supplies, watch the video demonstrations and complete the art work independently. {Make sure you bookmark this site so your child will be able to sign in!} High schoolers could also use this course to improve art skills or practice these lessons from a different point of view. Parents might also want to participate in these lessons as a fun way to create art together as a family!

3. How many videos are included with this course?

4. Why the name "Yellow Spot: Sun"?

Pablo Picasso, famous artist and Cubist, once said, "There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others, with the help of their art and intelligence, that transform a yellow spot into the sun." 

What a wonderful way to view art! If we take the time to view art in this manner, there is no telling what each of these budding artists can create over their lifetime!

Marrissa Raimonde

The Art Teacher

Hi there! I'm Marrissa, the creator of Yellow Spot:Sun and have been homeschooling my three kiddos since 2013. Prior to homeschooling my own kiddos, I earned my Master's Degree in Art Education and taught art in At-Risk public schools for nearly a decade. Yellow Spot:Sun was created in 2017 because I wanted to help other homeschooling families have access to quality art education at an affordable cost from the comfort from their own homes. With over twenty years of art teaching experience, I am continually adding new courses to the site. You can find lessons that are based on history, literature or the seasons. Many of the lessons include videos of me teaching the art technique step-by-step. Some are downloadable "do it yourself" PDF's. It is my hope and prayer that these courses will be a blessing to you and your kiddos and that the desire to create will be ignited in each of them that fosters a love of the arts for a lifetime! Sincerely, Marrissa
