Homeschool Art Adventures, Ages 5-13 - Fit more creativity & play into your homeschooler's education
Designed for homeschooled children ages 5 to 13, this ongoing art program weaves creativity and play into learning. Experienced art instructors lead customized projects and invite students to explore media such as drawing, acrylic painting, pottery, fiber arts, and printmaking. Activities shift with each group’s interests and include both individual creations and collaborative work, so every session brings something new. Families can participate regularly or stop in as schedules allow. Registration is required and is $40. For drop off and pick up, plan to arrive at the Catalyst classroom within 15 minutes before class and return within 15 minutes after. To be prepared, send your child in layers that can handle messy materials, pack a spill-proof water bottle, and include a tidy snack if needed.
Catalyst Arts CollaborativeAfter School Art - Ages 5-9 -Nurture your kid's growth w/ engaging, exploratory art mediums/projects
An after-school art program designed for ages 5 to 9 nurtures creativity through engaging, exploratory projects in a variety of mediums. Experienced art educators guide customized activities each week while introducing students to artists, art history, diverse cultures, and related subjects. Mediums and skills may include drawing, acrylic and watercolor painting, collage, mosaics, pottery in the Cat Clay studio, fiber arts, oil pastels, printmaking, cyanotypes, sculpture, and mixed media. Most class days end with one or two take-home pieces. Some sessions emphasize hands-on exploration without a final artwork, and at times students collaborate on group projects. Every session offers something new. This offering is available as ongoing individual sessions. Students are encouraged to attend weekly, yet occasional participation is welcome. Pre-registration is required for all participants. The fee is $40 per session. For drop-off and pick-up, plan to arrive within 15 minutes of the start and end of class.
