Meet The Masters/Art Exploration for Homeschoolers

Meet The Masters/Art Exploration for Homeschoolers This Art program gives Homeschooled kids the opportunity to explore many different ways to create Art. Thurs. 11:30-1:00 Age 9-12. (More classes to come)

When I moved here from California, I started to look for a community in which to belong to. I walked into the Murray Hill Art Center and thought "Yes!" I've found a home. Such a lively center, people really enjoying themselves while creating wonderful Art! With my background as a teacher and Artist, I saw I could fulfill a need. An Art Program for kids, and in particular kids being Homeschooled. I

got the go ahead, so now there is an ongoing class that has started up and is growing! In each class, we "Meet" a different master Artist and create our own Art using their techniques. Or we might explore another medium altogether as pictured by the Paper Mache Alligator or the Creature Habitats you see the kids working on in the photos. Come join us! The kids are learning new techniques while having lots of fun! More classes to be announced.

In one of our weeks "Meeting a Master", we looked at the work of the famous artist, Mary Cassatt. She liked to paint people in daily life, including a young girl wearing a hat. From her, we created our own person wearing a hat, with our focus on practicing creating a face with eyes, nose and mouth in proportion. Plus we included adding a pattern to the hats we created. Here is a sample of how some of them turned out!

New This Fall for Homeschool Students!
“Meet the Masters” And Exploration in Art
Ongoing Weekly Class, Ages 9-12, Thursdays 11:30 – 1:00 $20 Weekly Drop-in or $90 for 5 classes (Supply list upon registration).
This class is 2 Programs in one! “Meet The Masters” is an Award-Winning Art Education program especially for students being Home-schooled. It was designed by teachers and fits educational standards in Art. The focus is on “Meeting” a master artist in history. Students then get to apply whatever Art technique that artist specialized in and create their own Art piece.
The “Exploration in Art” portion of the class is more of a creative opportunity for kids to explore the many different ways they can create Art. It looks as varied as creating an Alligator out of Paper Mache or Habitats for small creatures from items found in Nature. The focus here is on having fun in the process of creative discovery!

Class led by Kathleen Vought, Certified in Elementary Education. Contact her at (510)717-5284 or [email protected] for more information.
Enrollment is limited (12-15 students) Register in advance .org Class located at the Murray Hill Art Center, 4237 Kerle St., Jacksonville. (More classes to open soon!)
