Art Open Studios with Elizabeth Howe

Hi to all,

We had a great fall session of art. I will soon be sending  out the schedule for the winter session that starts in January. Meanwhile we will be doing a few OPEN STUDIOs

Open Studio is a great time for students to explore forms of art that interest them and express their creativity.

Projects will be supervised and instruction given as needed but this is a time for them to explore.

My experience with Open Studio times is that students don't always create their most profound works, but they explore deeper their creative spirit. Thus studio time is just as important to creative development as regular classes.

Pay attention to the dates, but also the ages and times as they vary slightly from our regular session.

Your child is welcome to bring a friend with them, I just need to know who is planning on coming and if they will have a friend so I can make sure we have enough room for all.

Here is the schedule for the next few weeks 

Ages 4-10 - Tuesdays from 4:00-5:00 Class fee is $10 per each student includes materials and supplies

December 1, 2015

December 8, 2015

November Homeschool Rollerskating/ Sportsplex Day

Wednesday, November 18 from 1-3 pm will be our homeschool day at the UP Sportsplex. Cost will be $6 per participant and that covers all activities except putt putt golf. Rollerskating, bounce houses and slides, and the turf will all be included. Children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. The UP Sportsplex is located at 1110 Wright Street in Marquette. We have been having such large turnouts, that I think it will be safe to say RSVP is not needed.  Hope to see you there!
