HOMESCHOOL ART CLASSES

KAC is proud to offer Homeschool Art classes! 

Mondays and Wednesdays we are offering History + Process. In these classes students will learn the History of Art based on a monthly theme and then get to make a project based on the history that they learned about in class.

These classes are offered for 6-17 year-olds and take place from 10:30 am-12:00 pm.

We are also offering Clay classes on alternating Thursdays throughout the school year. Our clay classes are a new project every class where kids will get to learn the processes of working with clay.

We all know kids love clay!
