Art House, The: Homeschool Fine Art Classes

Homeschool Fine Art Classes, Hand Sewing, Crochet and Wheel Throwing!

Our Fine Art Series gives kids (5 and Up) and teens the opportunity to explore a variety of mediums (clay handbuilding, drawing and painting). We provide expert instruction, professional grade materials, and a supportive atmosphere—celebrating progress, not perfection. Students will develop their own personal styles and learn the associated vocabulary to articulate artistic concepts, discuss relevant examples of significant artists as well as an awareness of various art movements throughout history. Through this comprehensive approach students will develop the skills to appreciate, reflect, and critique works of art that will translate into real lifelong skills.

Art 100 is the perfect introduction to classical art training for young artists. In this foundational two-semester series, students will explore the core elements of drawing, watercolor painting, and clay hand-building. Emphasizing observational skills, hand-eye coordination, experimentation, and confidence in creative expression, students will learn fundamental artistic techniques. This course lays the groundwork for future growth and is a prerequisite for Art 200.

Art 200 continues the artistic journey with a deeper dive into observational and expressive drawing, watercolor layering techniques, introduction to acrylic painting, and refined clay construction. Students will begin to learn the artistic process from ideation to execution, and develop their unique artistic voice through more complex projects. Lessons build on intermediate techniques, encourage creative risk-taking, and introduce foundational art theory to help students make more intentional artistic choices. Completion of Art 200 is required before moving on to Art 300.

Art 300 is an advanced studio course for students ready to work with greater independence and depth. This year focuses on mastering classical techniques, developing a personal style, and creating a cohesive portfolio of work across drawing, watercolor or acrylic painting, and clay. Students will analyze the work of historical and contemporary artists, engage in self-directed projects, and prepare for end-of-year exhibitions that showcase their growth and creativity.
