Fine Arts Classes

First, let me apologize for my tardiness with this post. I have been super-busy this past couple of weeks, and will be until the end of the month. Why? I am opening an art center! My small community is in need of a little culture (those are not my words, but those of my neighbors and friends) and I am in need of, well... self-employment. So this should work out very well for everyone.

I have a very empty finished basement with three small "classrooms" (easy-to-clean linoleum floors instead of carpeting was the clencher). With plenty of storage room, running water for cleanup, and wallspace for artwork and projected images, I knew on the outset that this was a feasible idea. But what about furniture... you know, tables and chairs? I went to the school district and guess what? They gave me (GAVE me) three large work tables and many, many sturdy chairs. I have little chairs for little people, chairs for adults, and even a few chairs sizes in between. I'm working on getting it all together by May 1. (Oh my, did you know it snowed here all day today? So much for mowing the lawn! What happened to spring?)

If you live in the Blackfoot Idaho area and are interested in art classes (for ages 4 and up), please visit my new Blackfoot Art Center weblog to learn more about what we'll be doing. There you can download flyers, class schedules for our first (and future) sessions, and registration forms. Feel free to copy and distribute to your group!

Meanwhile, check in to the Art Center weblog often for fine arts lesson ideas and student work that I'll be showcasing each week. I'll post some more homeschool ideas here just as soon as I'm able, I promise!
