Teaching Islamic Art with Wajiha Khalil

Raising Mums

Islamic Art is a subject that is often overlooked when developing our curriculum, especially with today's focus on technology. The arts are really essential for growing minds to help our children engage with their personal and cultural understanding. I can help build key skills such as critical and creative thinking as well as developing their fine and gross motor skills. Above all, taking some time to create something from the heart is a wonderful way to glorify Allah (SWT) who created us. In Episode 85 of the Raising Mums podcast, I talk to Wajiha Khalil, creator, and teacher at Sacred Art Workshops. Wajiha Khalil is a mother of three boys, a multidisciplinary artist, and a student of sacred knowledge. Through Sacred Art Workshops, she conveys Islamic knowledge to children through visual art and creative discovery. Her process strives to bring an integrated sense of understanding through engaging projects that create a memorable experience, not only beautiful art - but an inspired and curious heart. You can catch up with some of the wonderful work Wajiha does with her students, and join her upcoming classes, on her website https://www.sacredartworkshops.com/ and also on her Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sacredartworkshops/ More Islamic Art Resources Related: 10 Wonderful Art and Craft Ideas for Homeschool History Here: https://ourmuslimhomeschool.com/2022/05/10-wonderful-art-and-craft-ideas-for-homeschool-history.html Related: How to do Picture Study Lessons in your Homeschool HERE: https://ourmuslimhomeschool.com/2018/07/how-to-picture-study-homeschool.html How to Start Your Muslim Homeschool Launch Your Homeschool is an online course that will hold your hand and walk you through the beginning stages of homeschooling, built upon the framework of the Charlotte Mason philosophy.
