Homeschool with ArtSocial 805

We’re excited to introduce a new Homeschool itinerary that offers a structured approach to art, starting with basic concepts and materials, and progressing through techniques and cultural perspectives. Students will create personal projects and finish with an exhibition, enhancing both their artistic skills and understanding of the world. The program is flexible, allowing students to join at any time.

Students who sign up for 4 or more classes will receive a new sketchbook and pencil set, which will be used throughout the year to track their progress. Each session will begin with a creative prompt. We will also showcase these books at the end of the year.

We are a Heartland Charter School partner! Families of Heartland Charter School can find us in their catalog. All other families may sign up through our website.
