This class emphasizes creative confidence, joyful discovery, and the magic of making art in a supportive studio environment. Projects stretch from 2D to 3D!

Fridays (weekly) | 12:30-2:30 | ages 12-16
Next 6-week session starts October 3rd
Project-Based Multimedia Art for Older Homeschool Students with an emphasis on thinking outside the box!
In this hands-on art class, older homeschool students will explore project-based learning through a variety of multimedia materials while gaining a deeper understanding of the elements of art.
During Weeks 1 and 2, students will be introduced to the main project theme and its inspiration. They'll learn about real-world designers, experiment with new materials, and complete smaller skill-building exercises that support the larger creative process.
In the following weeks, students will apply their new knowledge to develop a major project or two - combining technique, creativity, and design thinking. The focus will be on creating functional art pieces that are bold, unique, and truly jaw-dropping!

Frequently Asked Questions...
WHAT TYPE OF ART DO YOU TEACH FOR HOMESCHOOL ENRICHMENT?
Amazing art classes to supplement homeschool students. Hands-on, creative classes crossing all mediums and involving the whole student. Our classes encourage exploration of the imagination and creativity in a variety of ways: We incorporate the elements of art and principles of design into projects where the students learn them from utilizing them! A love for art can sprout in unexpected places and surprising forms, and that's exactly what is happening with Free Range Art students! Our homeschool art classes have explored pop art, painting with coffee, alcohol inks, watercolors, pen & ink, paper mache, metal tooling, squeegee painting, gell plate printing, polymer clay, worked with wood to create one-of-a-kind walking sticks, jewelry, mixed media, and more! We have added new classes for Fall 2025 to accomodate our growing student base!
WHAT IS THE COST?

If you want to enroll 3 or more children, we offer a FAMILY pack for $425. Both of these packages add value for those families who might miss classes due to travel and other commitments... providing you with up to 6 classes at a discounted price.
*Also! An additional homeschool art class is offered as a bonus "make-up" class for students. All are welcome to attend this bonus/makeup day regardless of whether or not they missed a previous class. The bonus class will be used to finish up any missed work and another 2D painting/drawing project will be provided as an option, too.

​
WHEN ARE HOMESCHOOL ART CLASSES OFFERED?
Afternoon classes are offered weekly on Wednesday and Friday from 12:30-2:30. These classes can be booked by the block of 6 weekly classes. Occasionally, our classes will skip a week so that we can offer art to a group of special needs adults twice a year.
Morning classes are offered bi-weekly for younger students and are every other Friday from 10-11:30 . These are booked by blocks of 6 sessions. Class dates are noted in the link to register.
​
WHERE ARE CLASSES HELD?
Classes are held at the Carriage House Collective: 381 Brinton Lake Rd, Thornton PA 19373. The Free Range Art studio is in the carriage house behind the main building on the property (behind the Mill Offices). When you enter the parking lot, make a quick right down a gravel drive back to the "Carriage House". We are located on the 2nd floor. There is a creek, land to explore, and a nice setting for art and creativity.
​
CAN YOU SHOW ME SAMPLES OF PROJECTS?
Please look at samples of our classes toward the bottom of this page to get a sense of how the classes are organized and what we create! Or, check out our social media pages to see the types of projects we do and what we study. We would also be happy to email you if you'd like to see the types of art we explore. We want the students to embrace the "process" of the art and we give guidance yet also follow their lead. This is small group instruction, so we can be very "hands-on" and therefore we limit the class size to 8 students and ideally we strive for the younger kids to have a 1 to 7 ratio of teacher per students.
​
HOW CAN I REGISTER MY CHILDREN?
Fall 2025 classes will not be available for registration until the end of July. BUT...You are already in the right place! Registration can be done here on our website at the end of July and is first-come first first-served. We ask that payment be made at the time of registration to hold your spot(s). If you'd prefer to pay via cash or check, please email us and those can be dropped at the studio. We are so happy that you are interested in our program! If you have any issues registering or have questions, please email Tracy at FreeRangeArtClasses@gmail.com.
*The homeschool classes have a free make-up "bonus" at the end of every 6-week session, bringing your total classes to 7 if you have your child attend them all.
**We can no longer accept registration for individual classes but hope that you find value in the bundle of 7 classes for the price of 6.​​​
