ARTS CLASSES OFFERED FOR HOME SCHOOLED CHILDREN
Post Date: July 30
We applaud those parents in our community who have taken on the awesome responsibility of home schooling their children. Reading, writing, math, social studies and the like are important academic areas most likely to be addressed by concerned parents. But, what about the arts - music, dance, theatre, the visual arts...? Important subjects as well that shouldn't be left out of a well rounded education. Every young person needs not only exposure to the arts but an opportunity to develop their own creativity, best developed by new and ongoing arts experiences, both singularly and with others. 

An additional but crucial aspect of the HSAP is the benefit of student interaction. HSAP students have the opportunity to meet and work with other home-schooled students, build friendships and develop necessary peer-to-peer social skills. 
 
Classes are offered in dance, music, theatre, drawing and painting, photography, creative writing. All classes are group sessions encouraging young people to experience not only the artistic discipline offered but also the concept of teamwork--one of the strongest benefits of the arts. How to work together, how to learn from one another, how to be inspired by one another, how to help one another.
 
The HSAP instructors are all qualified professional artists, all of whom have performed or are currently still on local and regional stages such as The Hippodrome Theatre, WEAA FM Radio, Artscape, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as well as made appearances in major films and television shows. Most have been employed by the Baltimore City Public School System (and other area public and private schools systems) at one time. (Individual resume available at registration).
 
The Home School Arts Program at the Eubie Blake Center is for young people ages, 5 - 17 years. Art classes are offered every Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Students may study a number of artistic disciplines in a one-day or two days per week schedule. Class size is limited to ten (10) students per class and divided by age. A special performance event is scheduled at the close of the ten-week session where all students will showcase their skills. 
 
The Home School Arts Program runs for 10 weeks in both the fall (October - December 2009) and spring (March - May 2010) semesters. Young people can be registered for one, two or three classes per day. Exciting, professional, creative, affordable--REGISTER TODAY! Less than $12 per class!!
 
Don't leave the arts out of your child's total and comprehensive education. A full list of arts classes offered with tuition costs will be sent to you upon request. For more information call 410.370.8994 or email to ArtsII@aol.com
