Class Description

Poetry and Painting is a beautiful way to tie together fine arts with language arts. Students will read, appreciate, and disect poems written by poets such as William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Rudyard Kipling, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and more. Students will learn to distinguish different elements of poetry such as form, rhyme, and rhythm. They will also work to memorize excerpts from some of the poems to be treasured for years to come. On the fine arts side, I will walk the class through easy-to-follow watercolor tutorials, helping students craft a unique collection of paintings to visualize each poem and study poetry moods. We will experiment with creative painting techniques to illustrate parts of each poem.

Ann Rodman taught for 10 years as a high school teacher before staying home to school her own children. She has a degree in Child Development, a masters degree in Library Sciences, as well as Administration. She even earned honors of Teacher of the Year runner up in the state of Illinois during her tenure at Oswego High School. Ann is currently in her seventh year of teaching classes at a homeschool co-op and loves working with the children while helping them grow in their passion and enjoyment of learning.

As a homeschool mom, Ann is grateful for the opportunities she has throughout the day to speak God’s love and truth to her own kids. Deuteronomy 6:5-7 states, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
