"Monday's Child is full of grace."
WHO WE ARE: We are a fine arts enrichment program created by a homeschool family seeking to afford professional classes in a reasonable time frame for all children. There is often not enough time in a day, nor money in the bank, to schedule private lessons in even one of the arts, let alone all that we want for our children. Monday's Artists has created a way of achieving fine arts goals through community. Providing a complete program that is affordable both in time and cost. Holding instruction one day per week with professional instructors and meeting in a relaxed and peaceful home setting we meet the needs of whole families. This unique setting allows parents to choose to attend class with their children or to drop them off without incurring the liabilites and stresses that meeting in a church can create.
Albert Einstein once noted that, "?Imagination is more important that knowledge?." Monday?'s Artists seeks to awaken the imagination and weave it through with academic instruction in a manner that opens curiousity, encourages full participation, and cultivates a life-long relationship with the arts and with other students. The large muscle play of climbing, jumping and running that is encouraged before, between and after classes expands neurological and comaraderie connections which adds a secondary depth for our young artists. Monday's Artists programs are instructor-led rather than parent-led due to the breadth and depth to which we aim to explore. However, these professional instructors are, as often as possible, parents. Materials are presented with a great deal of experience, enthusiasm and encouragement, and children are met with this at their individual levels upon entering each class. Exploring the fine arts and guiding our children through these fun and creative areas of education is a gift -a gift that holds a special niche and attainable success for each and every child. For the younger students we strive to keep their worlds of imagination intact through affirming and finding joy in who they are and what they are doing. As the students age up we strive to draw them into the dialectic world through observation, discussion, and practice with consideration of the person into whom they are maturing.
Our prayer is that through joining Monday's Artists you and your children will discover the richness of fine arts intwined with academics and friendships. As well as find refreshment, strength and renewal as a child of God, a spouse, a parent and a teacher.
Serving you, I am,
Kate
