art-a-site! Gallery & Studio is excited to provide the Home Schooled Community this visual arts opportunity!
Our programming will be developed around a discipline-based curriculum that includes studio
production, art history, aesthetics and art criticism. Each class will focus on a particular art
concept and that concept will be reinforced by the studio work. We will study a different artist each
class and be inspired by his or her work as we approach the studio portion of the lesson.
