What Others Are Saying
Combines art history, Scripture, prayer – Paper Jungle Art Project
My children, ages 8 and 10, were immediately captivated by Pat Knepley. We worked diligently on our project in four separate lessons, and were very happy with the results.
I love that art history is incorporated throughout and the fact that my children said that Pat Knepley must have a scripture for everything was pretty cool. I especially liked that she prayed before we were to start cutting out our projects as cutting is not my forte.
The lessons were well planned out and easy to follow. It was really wonderful to end up with a completed project.

Credentialed Art Teacher into Your Home – Paper Jungle Art Project
What we liked best:
- These are quality projects, and any student should be able to produce something they are very proud to show off!
- I loved the effortless way that art history, art appreciation, elements of design, and Bible lessons were woven in the DVD. Pat Knepley simply shared the info and her thoughts as she worked and demonstrated the project, and it was not forced or 'preachy', but done in a conversational style.
- This project, in particular , didn't require expensive materials.
What I need to mention:
Some students may want to rush or feel the pressure to "keep up" with Pat. I suggest doing what we tried - watch the lesson all the way through, without trying to draw or cut at the same time, then watch again and pause at each step and encourage the student to take their time.
Our bottom line:
My young artist loved doing this project and it inspired more artistic ideas for her. I think these DVD lessons would be a welcome addition in most homeschools, and would be great for small co-op classes as well.
Pat K’s Art Instruction is Phenomenal – Paper Jungle Art Project
This series of Art Project DVD's is a perfect way to give independent study to your child. Pat shares many Bible stories and scriptures along the way as well as subtle character lessons. The art history of Henry Rousseau was taught and interwoven throughout the lessons making it a great hands-on way to learn.
I love the quality of the filming and the eye appeal of the set-up. The enthusiasm of Pat and her love for art and teaching definitely shows through.
Very COOL Project – Paper Jungle Art Project
I know you technically should just do one lesson at a time, but when we finished the first lesson, they didn't want to stop. We ended up doing all four lessons in one sitting.
Mrs. Knepley did a great job explaining what they were doing and talking about the artist, and I liked that she did the project right along with them. Each lesson includes training on technique, fabulous teaching about Rousseau, showing his work, and Bible reading/references that applies to what we were doing.
3-D effect – Paper Jungle Art Project
The paper collage presented a new challenge. We created a 3-D jungle effect overlapping flora, fauna, animals with our cut out construction paper. Very cool effect.
I am always heartened at the way Pat relates an appropriate Scripture to the individual lesson being taught. She radiates the love and joy of our Lord.
