Visual Diary Distant Learning (Cross Curriculum Program for Primary and Higher Education aged groups)

Visual Diary of Knowledge has been running since 2017 (includes a cross curriculum visual activity e.g. History, Geography, Literature, Philosophy, Graphic Design, Mathematical Dictionary, Additional Language, Drawing, Painting etc. etc.) is a program for anyone who wishes to learn through creative, alternative way using artistic abilities such as drawing, creative writing, colour and creativity in general. This program runs weekly throughout the year and includes one to two topics per week (depending on the topic and what it entails). Kids are presented with explanation, helping sheet (which is usually hand drawn and with a handwritten fact/s about the topic) this helping sheet encourages the children to write and read script and generally use the old fashioned way of documenting facts in a Visual Diary. The kids need to read the information at least two times, once to themselves and ones to anyone who is willing to listen. Depending on ability, desire and age kids can use the helping sheet in any way they wish. They can cut and paste parts of it and draw/write the rest or create their poster (A3 usually size) totally from scratch. I have included many different posters as examples. Kids are also encouraged to post their work in the group for everyone to see. This encourages other kids and also helps them take pride in their work. For each of the topics I include links to additional material in the form of videos or fact sheets. Cost of the program is very low $52 ($100 before COVID-19) a year per family (can start at any time throughout the year). Link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1414015422011780/

Similar program which You may be interested in: DISTANT ART (Family friendly art program for any age)

This program has been running since 2017, it is relatively new and I am working on it to improve it so it suits all home educating families and beyond, in a best possible way. In short: Each week (usually Sunday) I post a project (tutorial or sequence of photos) of a different kind. Projects include Fine Art with different mediums or in combination with craft e.g. collage etc. Explanations are included plus list with materials. Everyone in the family is welcome to participate and share their art works weekly completed and/or not, ask questions and generally communicate by expressing an opinion. I answer all questions to the best of my knowledge and give as many examples as possible. Sharing and taking pride in one’s artwork is very important. This program covers Fine and Visual Art, Bits of Graphic Design, some Math through art plus English and Art History. I will be posting links with videos and facts about certain Artists and artworks. Cost of the program is very low $52 ($100 before COVID 19) a year per family (can start at any time throughout the year). Link https://www.facebook.com/groups/651189368412935/
The programs can be entered at any time in the year.
