Grades: 6-12
This is a three-day class, taking place on Saturdays November 2, 9, and 16. By registering for this, you agree to your commitment for all three classes. Each class builds on the knowledge of the previous one, so attendance is important. On November 16 we will have a fashion show and reception for family members to come see the art we make over the course of the three weekends. You only need to purchase one ticket to reserve your student’s seat at all three classes.

This is a private event. Only registered students may attend the classrooms when in session. If special accommodations are necessary, please let us know.
Please register by Friday, October 25.
Once classes are full, students will be put on a waiting list, or you can choose to take a different workshop. Once sessions begin workshop changes are not permitted.
If you are unable to afford the registration fee we have some scholarships available. Please contact Sarah Patton at spatt006@odu.edu for more information.

Class Detail: This class is for the homeschool student wanting to include a well-rounded art curriculum to his or her education. This Art Appreciation class includes history, daily life, culture, and of course the art and artists of that time period. Who could truly appreciate art without trying it, though? So we spend lots of time trying all kinds of art styles, mediums, and techniques. The Renaissance is an amazing time of discovery and learning. Printing presses are making books accessible to more people, encouraging people to learn how to read which opens up the door to so many avenues of learning: from science to religion to literature and of course the arts!
