The Rome Art and Community Center (RACC) is excited to announce a brand-new Homeschool Art Program starting Thursday, February 27, this 10 week program (Ending Thursday, May 1) is tailored to engage young students in creative exploration through a dynamic and educational approach to art. Taught by certified K-12 teacher Sybil Preski, this program promises to be an enriching experience for students across multiple grade levels.
The program is divided into three potential levels:

First Elementary (Grades K-2): Students will explore self-expression, environmental awareness, and the elements of art. Projects will include self-portraits, landscapes, and nature-themed pieces, integrating math skills and environmental science.
Second Level (Grades 3-6): Building on the foundation of the lower level, students will delve deeper into art history, study famous artists, and create more sophisticated 2-D and 3-D art using various mediums including found objects, oil pastels, and clay.
Third Level (Grades 7-12): Students will explore the elements of art and principles of design in-depth. They’ll study art styles, artists, and how art can be used for self-expression, storytelling, and influencing culture. A collaborative art project will culminate in a group exhibit.

Each level of the program encourages creativity, collaboration, and cultural exploration, culminating in a group art exhibit. The program is open to home-schooled students and will run for 10 weeks at $195 for the full program, including supplies.
