North Raleigh Home School Classes
Home School Art & Clay NEW! (ages 6 - 9): In this mixed medium class, students alternate between art and clay lessons, learning from an enriching curriculum developed over the past 20 years by respected home school educator and Raleigh Medal of Arts recipient Bonnie Brooks. The enrichment of art exercises through the use of creative approaches enables each student to realize his own educational potential within a group atmosphere. Valuable concepts are taught through visual art - including aesthetics, perceptual awareness, creativity, skills, learning terminology and history, and gaining a feeling of self confidence. The classes are based on the students individual needs and abilities, while promoting creative thinking abilities. Clay work involves both sculpture and wheel work according to age, which encourages both fine motor skills and 3-dimensional understanding.
Robotics (Ages 7 and up): This club is truly "more than meets the eye"! If your kids like to build, tinker, take things apart, are intrigued by how things work, then come learn the basics of robotics and how robots can be useful and fun. Using Lego robotics kits and computers, students will build simple robots, program them, test them, and watch them perform their tasks. Your transformers fans will gain not only programming skills but also an understanding of the history of robotics in both science and pop culture.
Dolls Galore Club (Ages 6 and up): If your daughter loves her doll, then imagine how proud of herself she'll be after she sews a dress for her by hand! Together we'll explore the stories of popular historic American dolls with period themed crafts that include making a keepsake box, photo frame, dreamcatcher, jewelry, and other fun activities. Girls will get an introduction to sewing by hand as we create a sachet, pincushion, doll sized sundress, quilt, and more. Don't forget to bring your doll each week to share in the fun of tea parties, show and tell, and fashion shows!
Video Game Development (Ages 8 and up): Don't just sit there playing video games - make your own! During this club, you'll learn about game design, concepts, setting, storytelling and narrative, character creation, interface design, game play, internal economy, core mechanics, game genres, AI in games, and online games. We'll also delve into the effects of games on society, the psychology of games, and look to the future with careers in game development. Working individually and in groups, students create games using various game programming tools. This camp introduces students to industry standard 3D animation tools, which they can use to bring their models and objects to life with programs such as Maya, 3D Studio Max and Blender. Lessons include key framing, motion paths, function curves and graphs, animated parameters and modifiers and animated hierarchies, in addition to creation of 3D models and animations.
Explore Art (ages 6-8): For the budding artist who not only enjoys drawing but is also willing to take direction and ready to learn advanced techniques. We teach light and shade, color theory, perspective, as well as facial and body proportions, and help the students to become more comfortable working independently. There is more focus on studying the great masters of art and finding each child's own creative style. This class can be scheduled any weekday morning or early afternoon for groups of four or more.
