Elementary Art Class


11:00 to 11:30


Art Information:

Atelier is a video-based art curriculum for ages 4-15 specifically designed to meet the needs of the home schooling community. The program stems from the roots of "Art Attack" which was developed for school districts and Atelier was developed for homeschoolers. The program consists of a 10 minute video presentation on a specific element of art and then engages them in a project. The supplies are fairly basic; chalks, sketch paper, construction paper, glue, etc. There is also an art appreciation program that corresponds. The students learn about different artists and we learn how to look at the different aspects of a painting.

There is no cost to join the lesson but I will send out a supplies list that can be divided up for all those that are attending. Teacher is Tania Peasley

Elementary Drama Class

1:00 to 2:30



Fun, fun, fun will be the main focus for elementary aged children this spring who want to be a part of a simple production offered. We will choose a play focusing on character qualities and morals that will speak to young and old alike and should be approximately one hour long. Besides fun for the children, this class will address and strengthen creativity, teamwork, focus, memorizing and doing your best. Parents need to be willing to work with the children on their parts at home and understand that casting will be divided into two groupings. Only students in grades 4, 5 and 6 will be considered for the parts that demand more memorization. Grades K through 3rd will be selected for the lesser demanding parts. Everyone is guaranteed a part and fun! We need a minimum of 15 students but will limit to 25.

There will be two mandatory dress rehearsals on April 12 & 13, with one performance on Saturday, April 14th at 6pm.

$50 per student, $25 for additional siblings, and if you have not done so already a $10.00 facility fee will also be collected.

Teacher: Melanie Meis
