Why did CCMM create this product?

This product was created to reinforce the Hands-on Fine Arts component for families participating in the Foundations program within Classical Conversations local communities. This product may also be used for Essentials students to write paragraphs alongside the IEW Teaching Writing Structure and Style Curriculum.

 

How is this classical?

This product is classical because it builds on and complements the natural ability of a grammar-aged student to commit large amounts of information (including information on artists and composers) to memory. The goal of the Foundations program is to train the brain to retain a foundation of knowledge in important subjects. This product introduces families to classical artists and composers and their works.

 

How is this Christian?

This product is Christian because it aligns with Classical Conversations’ motto “To Know God and to Make Him Known.” Students observe the talents of artists and composers and imitate their works, in both music and song, to glorify God.

 

How is this used in community?

This product is not used in community; however, it can be used at home by parents to provide additional information regarding the artists and composers introduced in the Hands-on Fine Arts component in community.
