SUMMER BREAK SESSION

NOTE: I will refund for weeks families are on vacation - please notify me by Sunday that fee is paid. 

Does your learner love art?  Does he or she love learning about difference people and places around the world?  If yes, this is a great combination class! 

In this summer social studies art class, learners will engage in arts and craft projects that teach them about people and landmarks around the world.  Students will watch a short video introducing the landmark and then will create a one-hour class project.  

Every two weeks students will walk away with a piece of art - including paintings, crafts, pastel images and sculptures.
