Another name to add to the Who's Who of Famous Homeschoolers, in case you didn't know: Andrew Wyeth, born in 1917 and passed away today, January 16, 2009.
He was the son of prolific illustrator and artist N.C. Wyeth and was educated at home until age 18. Andrew learned art from his father during those years and at the age of 20 held his first show, selling nearly all his pieces.
He never received a formal highschool diploma. Never got a college degree.
He was unquestionably unique among American artists.
Homeschooling. You just never know where it will take you.
