Hi everybody.

After a very enjoyable and successful first cycle of home school art classes, we are ready to set up our second cycle. To enroll your kids in this cycle, it is not necessary that they have participated in the first cycle.

Classes will run in an 8 class cycle and will cost $32 per cycle. This comes to $4 per class. Classes will include material and the $32 will have to be paid at the first class of the cycle. This price is based on a minimum of ten students, in order to make it realistic for our teacher to work at this extremely low price.

Rob has been kind enough to offer us his studio at his house at no cost, so classes will now be held at 1217 6th St. NW, near downtown, just north of Mountain. For those signing up, we will provide you with a detailed map and Rob has assured us there is enough parking space close by.

The dates of our classes will be:

February 10th, 17th and 24th
March 3rd, 10th, 17th. 24th and 31st

For those of you who have not met our teacher yet I am quoting his bio at the end of this email/post.

These classes are open to all homeschoolers. Feel free to forward it to homeschoolers known to you or post it on your respective home school fora and/or let your friends know.

I am not putting any age restrictions on these classes, as I have seen Rob work with a group of kids 4 to 14 and have them mesmerized for over an hour. You know best if your child is ready for this and Rob can handle it.

Sign up with me, Ginou, at inginouity@yahoo.com at your earliest convenience, so we have a picture of how many students we will have.

We are extremely pleased that Rob can offer us another cycle of classes and we are looking forward to seeing all the old faces and hopefully some new too.

Thanks for your attention.

Ginou

Ginou,  I'd like to enroll my daughter in this class.  Although, she favors digital art, I would like to present her with other opportunities to expand her horizons in the art field.  Are parents allowed to sit in and watch the lessons with their kids?  

Sincerely,
Leticia Werner

Leticia, can you please send me an email with the name and age of your daughter and I will sign her up. Please send it to inginouity@yahoo.com

To answer your question: yes, parents can sit in and did during the previous cycle. However, if you want to be sure to have a chair, please bring a folding one, at least to the first class, till we are sure Rob has enough to seat us all. Sign up has been high.
