Monday's Artist
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 every one of our children. There was not enough time in a day, nor money in the bank to schedule private lessons in even one of the arts. Our goal was to provide a complete fine arts program that is affordable both in time and cost. Hiring professional instructors, having instruction one day per week and meeting in a relaxed and peaceful home setting we are meeting the needs of whole families. This home setting allows parents to choose to attend class with or to drop children off without the liabilites and stresses that meeting in a church can cause. This year we found that younger siblings preferred wandering in and out from play to parent, much like at home, and it worked wonderfully so we scrapped our nursery creating a nice savings for most of us.
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 relationship with the arts as well as other students. Monday's Artists programs are instructor-led rather than parent-led due to the breadth and depth which we wish to cover. However, these professional instructors are, as often as possible, parents. Materials are presented with a great deal of experience, enthusiasm and encouragement while children are met at the level at which they enter. 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 child.
We pray that you will join us as a Monday's Artists and find the richness of fine arts accompanied by academics and friendships. As well as be refreshed, strengthened and renewed on this road less traveled.
Serving you, I am,
Kate
