6 Introduction To the Parent What do you wanna be when you grow up? Children ponder this question repeatedly during the course of their childhood. They relate to father or mother, grandparents, friends, neighbors everyone around them has something that they specialize in and do. Through their playful activities, children emulate the grownups around them trying on different hats and shoes whether they be of fireman, farmer, foreman, or flight attendant. God has designed your child with unique gifts and talents for a purpose that will one day unfold before your eyes. Someday and soon enough you will look at your child and realize he or she is all grown up! You have a wonderful opportunity with the When I Grow Up series to guide your children to better understand the world around them and take advantage of their delight-directed interest in the subjects presented. Ideal for children ages 4-10, older students and even Mom and Dad can learn right alongside them about the many special callings (or occupations) that people are involved in and love. This is not just a wafting of information but an in-depth study that has been thoroughly researched and introduced along with engaging text, fun activities, and special learning adventures and ideas for further creative exploration. Enjoy the process of mentoring your child to become what God desires for him (or her) by discovering and encouraging each child's uniqueness and individuality through these hands-on studies. This could be the spark that ignites the fire of interest for your child and who knows what path it may take! To the Student Art is all around you. You can t escape it! From the artful, decorative arrangements in your home to the layout of this E-Book, art is everywhere. In this book, you will discover that art is much more than paintings hanging on museum walls. You will meet artists who illustrate books and who create art on computers for businesses in addition to a more traditional portrait artist. You will also learn what the two most important skills for an artist are and what you need to set up a basic art kit. Do you like to draw or paint? Do you like to daydream and use your imagination? Do you think in pictures? Then you have artistic abilities that could be cultivated Artist 6
