The Rome Art and Community Center is excited to announce our Homeschool Art Program is returning for the 2025-2026 school year! Starting Thursday, October 23, this 10 week program (Ending Thursday, January 15) 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-3) : 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 4-6): 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.
First Elementary (K-3) : 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Second Level (4-6) : 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Third Level (7-12) : 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
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.
