HOME SCHOOL: FAQ
Q: What are homeschool art groups?
A: Home School Art Groups are taught in sessions (Fall, Winter & Spring) throughout the school year. Groups meet for 1-hour once a week.
Q: How long are the sessions?
A: Session length depends on the season/holidays. Usually 8-12 weeks.
​
Q: What's the difference between afterschool & homeschool Art Groups.
A: The only difference is the time the groups are offered. Homeschool art groups are offered during the daytime hours during public school hours. Homeschool students are also always welcome to join afterschool art groups.
Q: Can we come different days?
A: You can sign up & participate in more than one group. You can't swap days of attendance weekly depending on your schedule for make-up days.
​
Q: How do we see what our kids are making?
A: We keep all the work crated during the session at the studio. All group sessions conclude with a portfolio review of the session, where each artist selects one work of art to be featured at the end of the year art show. (In June: TBD) Your artist will pick one work of art from EACH SESSION he or she attends. The rest of the art is then sent home. We hold the chosen work until the end of the school year for the show. Once the show is over, we return the show piece(s) as well.
​
Q: My child is really talented. Can we bump up to the older group?
A: All of our groups are divided strictly by grade level. It's based on grade level to surround them with peers, build confidence and for engaging & appropriate conversation. We will challenge your artist based on their talent level.
​
Q: Do you offer make-ups?
A: Unfortunately we do not offer make ups. Why? Because we work on different projects for different groups based on interests and we only allow so many in each group. We do our best to catch up your artist in what was missed.
Q: What about Weather cancelations?
A: Weather cancelations are handled differently. We will communicate weather policy during winter session.
