HOMESCHOOL WORKSHOPS 2024-25
AFRICAN ANIMALS THEME
REGISTER HERE
Want to learn to draw? Whether you want to learn the basics of drawing or improve existing drawing skills, these are the classes for you! Instructors will show you new techniques and provide professional quality materials to complete your artwork. This guided step-by-step method improves visual perception skills by breaking down the subject matter for people of all ages to see and follow along. The patented Monart Drawing Method was designed by leading art educator Mona Brookes, author of Drawing With Children and Drawing For Older Teens and Adults. In these monthly workshops students have fun using provided media while learning to draw. Because everyone works at a different pace, it is best to have materials to finish up with at home if necessary; click on the “Supplies” tab on our website for a list of materials we use.
The theme for the 2024-25 homeschool workshops is “AFRICAN ANIMALS.” Tuition each month is $12.00 per person per class and includes all supplies and materials. This class meets Thursdays 1:00-2:00; students are divided loosely by ages 4 ½ -7 yrs. and 8-12 yrs. and Teens in our three classrooms.

At the Monart School of Art we strive to provide the very highest quality of art education. This is accomplished two-fold because of our patented method and our extremely qualified teachers. Join us and discover the Monart difference:
- Students use professional grade materials & learn how to use materials properly
- Our teachers are educators that have taught in the classroom as well as artists that show on the national level
- We use a progressive curriculum that builds skill levels and teaches independent creativity and three-dimensionality. Our students don’t just copy pictures and the teachers’ line-by-line drawing; they learn to draw from real objects
- We limit our class size to maintain an organized and structured setting where all students receive attention
- Our safe environment allows students to feel comfortable asking questions and learning problem solving techniques. Monart teachers are trained extensively in how to achieve a variety of creative results from the same lesson plan
- We teach serious drawing skills with many side benefits to academics while students enjoy learning new skills

WEEKLY CLASS ENROLLMENT:
Homeschool families receive a discount from our standard tuition of 25% off for the first student and a 50% discount for any students thereafter. Prices below indicate tuition for a semester with the discount included. Use these promo codes at check-out to receive the discount: FALLHS, WINTERHS, SPRINGHS.
The school year is divided into three semesters and you pre-pay for 10 of the 11 scheduled classes. Decide which day/time you can consistently come to and then attend as many class periods as you can, we will keep track of attendance. If all classes are attended the extra tuition is due at the end of the semester. One missed class does not need to be “made-up,” as this is a flexible attendance plan. Unused tuition/classes cannot be carried over to a new semester, refunded or credited. Enrollment mid-semester is acceptable upon availability. Once camp/class/workshop registration has been completed it is final (after all, registration is how we make hiring, scheduling and supply order decisions). If a student is unable to attend an event due to illness or emergency the tuition may be transferable to another student or camp subject to availability. We reserve the right to combine classes/camps/workshops due to low enrollment or subject compatibility. A variety of media will be used in art classes and is included in tuition: oil and chalk pastel, charcoal, watercolor, design marker, graphite, colored pencil, wax pastel, collage and sculpture materials. Every effort is made to keep students clean, but accidents happen so please dress for a mess.
GETTING READY (Ages: 4 ½ – 7)
This class introduces representational drawing geared to the attention span and motor coordination of the beginner artist. Children master the ability to recognize the elements of shape and combine them in drawing animals, characters and still life. Occasional heritage crafts, sculpture or holiday art are also part of the lesson plans.
Mon. 1:00-2:00; Wed. 5:00-6:00; Thurs. 5:00-6:00; Sat. 10:00-11:00
BASIC DRAWING (Ages: 7-12)
A relaxed, comfortable atmosphere challenges students to learn the basics and progress to intermediate projects. Students will draw from still life and 3-dimensional objects, photos, illustrations and their imaginations. Occasional heritage crafts, sculpture or holiday art are also part of the lesson plans. Beginner adults welcome too!
