Answer:
B. He was homeschooled.
C. He was a sketch artist, printmaker, and painter.
D. His family held slightly different religious beliefs.
Explanation:
It was in London, England, on November 28, 1757, that William Blake entered the world. Both his father (a hosier) and mother (a stay-at-home mom) instilled in him a strong religious upbringing. So, Blake stayed at home and learned at his own pace. Blake was educated at home and also worked with an engraver, where he picked up skills that would later help him become a skilled sketch artist, printmaker, and painter.
Although both of Blake's parents were active in the Church of England, the family had some theological ideas that were not shared by the majority of the congregation. For instance, Blake's parents held the view that the Bible should not be taken as the inerrant word of God but rather as a collection of stories and lessons.
Blake was a talented artist and original thinker despite his lack of any art training. He experimented with several printing techniques and was also a talented poet, painter, and artist. Even though his work was little known during his lifetime, its visionary nature is now widely recognized.
