The harp and laurel wreath

by Laura M. Berquist · 1999

Laura M. Berquist’s *The Harp and Laurel Wreath* is a thoughtful guide for homeschooling families who want to weave fine‑arts appreciation into the fabric of daily learning. Rather than relegating music, visual art, and performance to a “reward” after the core subjects are covered, Berquist offers practical strategies for making the harp’s melody and the laurel’s symbolism a living part of lessons in religion, English, math, science, history, geography, literature, and penmanship. Filled with lesson ideas, activity suggestions, and comprehensive indexes, the book shows how artistic expression can deepen understanding, spark creativity, and enrich the whole educational experience.
