This program provides one complete lesson and project for every week of the school year, serving as a foundational art program for your child.

Each class averages 25 minutes, where students create alongside Miss Jessica in a step-by-step instructional format. Every session results in a new, unique project, making this your essential homeschool resource for quality art education.

Our pre-recorded lessons offer the ultimate flexibility, allowing your family to learn to draw and paint on a schedule that fits your life perfectly. Kids master the skills to level up their art while building creative confidence through amazing, hands-on projects every week!

Who is Art Day Foundations for?

Perfect for homeschooled kids ages 5-10.
This is the comprehensive art curriculum specifically designed for K-5th graders to build a strong artistic foundation.

Are you tired of...

  • 🎨 "Fluff" projects and generic crafts that don't actually teach your child how to draw or paint?

  • 🔍 Scouring the internet for hours trying to find quality projects that actually work (and don't require a trip to three different stores)?

  • 🚗 Losing your afternoons to traffic and the "taxi driver" life just to get them to a local art studio?

  • 😟 The "Educational Guilt" of knowing your kids crave art, but feeling like you just don't have the time or the "artist genes" to teach it yourself?

  • You don’t have to do this alone. I’ve been there, and I have your back! ✨

If they can follow a story, they can create a masterpiece.

Many parents see our student gallery and think, "My child could never do that." But the truth is, your child doesn't lack talent—they just haven't been told the right story yet.

In Art Day Foundations, I take the "mystery" out of art by turning every lesson into a guided journey. Just like following a favorite picture book, I lead your child through the process one "chapter" at a time. We don’t just "draw a bunny"—we follow the lines and shapes as the character comes to life on the page.

By following along with me, one simple step at a time, your child builds something they never thought possible. The result? Artwork so high-quality, you’ll do a double-take—surprised by what your 5-year-old was truly capable of creating. I don’t just teach art; I teach your child how to be an artist.

Meet Your Instructor

Jessica Lannine (Founder and Art Instructor)

Hi, I’m Jessica. I know firsthand that homeschooling is about finding the right tools to spark lifelong curiosity. With a BFA in Art and 5+ years of experience as a certified K-12 art teacher, I’ve helped thousands of students see the world through an artist’s eyes.

My most rewarding work has been homeschooling my own two children for their entire education. This June, my daughter graduates as an award-winning artist—a milestone that proves what is possible with the right artistic foundation.

I created Art Day Foundations because you deserve lessons that go deeper than "busy work." I provide a clear framework that celebrates the natural world and removes the overwhelm, making art the absolute highlight of your homeschool week.

From "I Can’t Draw That" to "I Can’t Believe I Made That!"

Many parents worry that art is a "natural talent" you're either born with or you're not. But I believe that great art is simply the result of a great process.

Take my Royal Walnut Moth project, for example. By breaking down complex biological textures and shapes into simple, manageable steps, I empower your child to create work they are truly proud to display.

My method focuses on clear, gentle instruction that builds technical skill without the frustration. I don't just teach kids what to draw—I teach them how to see like an artist.
