SUMMARY:Homeschool Day
DESCRIPTION:Make art a family adventure this winter! Each week for the month of January\, homeschool students and parents are welcome to explore new ways of looking at art through guided gallery experiences\, fun activities\, and hands-on art projects. Each week will have a different theme! \nPrograms are offered separately for: \n\nAges 5 – 8\nAges 9 – 12\nParents/guardians\n\nInfants are welcome to attend with parents. Currently\, we are unable to accommodate children ages 2 – 4 (we hope to offer this in the future). Class size is limited to 12 students per age group. \nJoin us in this session: “Connect – Talking Through Art.” What stories can art tell? Students and parents will separately practice observation and storytelling through guided gallery activities\, then express their ideas through creative projects such as mini comics or collaborative writing prompts.  \nTHIS EVENT IS AT CAPACITY.
