Homeschool Art Classes
During the pandemic, Magnum Arts has provided online cartooning and drawing classes to children ages nine and up through Zoom, with each student learning at his or her own pace, with classes addressing each student’s interests and skill level. The emphasis is on self-acceptance, stress reduction, building self-esteem, and socializing (online) with other students, an important part of the experience.
“Hi, I just wanted to thank you for yesterday’s class. Casey kept drawing for hours after to finish his drawings. Between school lessons today he’s been drawing. He showed his friends his art and told them he “can draw now”. Rather than getting frustrated, he’s relaxed. You did that! Thank you.”
–Cara M
NEW HOME-SCHOOL CLASS
Magnum Arts has created a standalone drawing class for home-school students, unaffiliated with other home-school co-ops: The ICE Creative Classes program.
Hour-long classes are held online for students ages 9 -16 years old, and parents are absolutely welcome to sit in on the classes.
Cost: $75.00 for a nine week class (which breaks down to a mere $8.33 a class, less than a meal out at McDonald’s!). To inquire about classes for your homeschool activities or organization, send an email to magnumcreate@gmail.com.
“Drawing has never been fun for him…he is really putting himself out there. I think the socialization is very good for him. By the way you got a rare smile at the end. And after he left the class, he said ‘Wow, that felt good.’ He means drawing and your class. So now, I am a puddle of tears. Thank you for your class today.”
-Jennie D.
