I love finding great art resources for my kids, mostly because I’m not all that artistically inclined. Even better if the curriculum helps teach or reinforce Scripture.
There are several resources we’ve enjoyed over the years that use art to teach kids. Sometimes the most simple solutions are the best. Right now, we’re using Bible Drawing Notebook for my artistic 10 year old. She simply reads the indicated chapter in the Bible, draws about it, and jots down her prayers and drawing description.

Another resource we’ve enjoyed is the See the Light Bible Stories DVDs. They’re great for any family whether they homeschool or not, using fun and instructive art projects to teach Bible stories in fresh new ways! There are artistic explorations of Bible stories including Easter Christmas story, the Apostle Paul, Moses, and Jonah.
This is a sponsored review post and giveaway in cooperation with See the Light. All opinions are my own.
The See the Light Bible Stories are a set of 5 DVDs. Each one focuses on a different Bible story. The kids will watch an artist illustrate the story along with a dramatic retelling and then do some fun art projects centered around the theme of the story. There are even ideas for how to share the gospel with others!
Here are a few things I love about how these DVDs are put together:
- Bible stories your kids likely know and love explored in a fresh way
- Your kids enjoy watching beautiful art being created
- Fun techniques with chalk pastels, colored pencils, and even backlight!
- Downloadable lesson plans and ideas
We have some budding artists in our home and I am positive we will enjoy this series, especially if the video clips and reviews on the See the Light web site are any indication! Click here to check those out.
The Bible Stories DVD Set includes the following:
- The CrossMaker – Easter story
- God’s Special Surprise – the story of Moses
- Gift of Love – Christmas story
- Shipwrecked – Apostle Paul
- God’s Runaway – Jonah and the whale
There are so many fun ways to teach Bible using drawing and art!

Kathy Brockelman

Rebecca Robinson
24 Jan 2017My kids have learned to appreciate art but seeing HOW it’s created is something they don’t grasp. I think that they will be excited about that with any of the stories. Maybe it will give them confidence in their own talents.

24 Jan 2017My daughter is very artistically minded. She’s always drawing and coloring and creating. And while I enjoy those things, I struggle to incorporate art into our homeschool. I’ve tried a ton of different programs to try to be more intentional about it. Perhaps combining art with another subject will finally do the trick.
Stephanie H.
24 Jan 2017My daughter would love the drawing lesson using colored pencils and making her own black light reveal.

Kelly Kiggins-Lund
24 Jan 2017My son would love any of the DVDs in this series as he loves learning and talking about his God. If we had to choose just one, Id say The story of Jonah because he likes how the fish “urps” him up and how we can’t run away from God.
LeAnn Harbert
24 Jan 2017My granddaughters would really like the Shipwrecked DVD.
Gale
24 Jan 2017I think they’d enjoy any of them, but maybe Shipwrecked most.

24 Jan 2017Hi. Your text about your giveaway says it ends 2/6 but the giveaway form says it ends in 41 days. Looks like there’s a typo in there somewhere. Thought you would want to know.

Margarete
25 Jan 2017My daughter would like shipwrecked. 🙂
Sally
25 Jan 2017My kids love to do art, but we have not pursued pastels. I know they would love some instruction in that area. Also, learning from dvds seems to hold their interest more than books. Learning to draw by doing Bible stories is so much better, too. Thanks for this opportunity.
9kids
25 Jan 2017WOW… These are great!! Thank you!
9kids
25 Jan 2017I think The Cross Maker will be a big hit with my children. How wonderful to be able to witness with art. SO EXCITED!!

28 Jan 2017It’s so hard to narrow down, as each has such wonderful lessons! God’s Runaway would be a great reminder of God’s grace and mercy towards us, even in our disobedience and poor choices.
Angie
28 Jan 2017After going through a stage of being shipwrecked and running away from home schooling our kids this would be the perfect start with a solid foundation with Christ leading.

Liz C
28 Jan 2017My kids are so artistic they would love them all. Yet, I think they would truly enjoy God’s Special Surprise. They all (ages 4, 11, 13, 15, 16, and 20) love the story of baby Moses.
Tara
29 Jan 2017I have never heard of these before, but they sound great. I love art and my daughter does too. It would be a great way to engage children with the story.
Grace
29 Jan 2017My youngest has been enthralled with baby Moses in the basket since she was small, so I think she will especially enjoy that story, but anything to do with art will be a thrill to do. I love the idea of combining art and Bible stories. What a neat way to teach art concepts.
