Alisha Gratehouse is an artist, minister’s wife, and veteran homeschool mom of three young adults.
She is passionate about nurturing creativity and bringing the joy of art to others. In 2014, she began creating online art courses to fill what she believed was a gaping void in the area of homeschool art. Now through her company, the Masterpiece Society, she offers a complete art curriculum, teaching kids and teens art expression through multiple art mediums and techniques, as well as art history and appreciation.
In 2022, Alisha acquired The Homeschool Garden from Lara Molettiere and rebranded it as Charlotte Mason Morning Time™. She is currently building a community, Awaken to Delight, around the curriculum which includes art, handicrafts, nature journaling, baking, and more! “The souls of children are waiting for the call of knowledge to awaken them to delightful living.” ~ Charlotte Mason

How to Make Your Art Studies Come Alive!
Charlotte Mason wrote, “The art training of children should proceed on two lines: The child should begin both to express himself creatively and learn to appreciate art.”
In this workshop, I’ll show you how forming relationships with the master artists will spark your kids’ artistic expression and make your art studies come alive!
2020 Conference
Cultivating the Artist in Your Child
In the Original Homeschool Series we read, “Of course, we say, children should have their artistic powers cultivated, especially those who have such powers, but how is the question.”
Let me show you five simple ways to cultivate the “artist” (and creativity) that is within each of your children.
