Do you have a creative and curious homeschooler who is interested in art? The Frederic Remington Art Museum welcomes homeschoolers aged 6-18 to participate in our year-long fine art program, created specifically for homeschooled students. From September through May, the Frederic Remington Art Museum offers weekly classes for homeschool families and groups. This program builds upon the concepts of self-exploration, self-motivation, and experimentation that are at the heart of the homeschooling philosophy. In this series of classes, Education Manager Julie Pratt guides students through lessons that encourage teamwork, exploration, self-direction, and creative thinking.
 
All classes connect lessons to both NYS and National Learning standards:
  • Visual Arts: 

    • Responding to and interpreting works of art. 

    • Connecting art to personal and global contexts. 

    • Exploring techniques, media, and materials used in artwork.

  • Social Studies: 

    • Understanding historical context, cultural identity, and civic values through artifacts and interpretation.

    • Exploration and interpretation of ideas, eras, themes, developments, and turning points in the history of the United States and New York State.

  • Science & Nature: 

    • Investigating materials, environmental context, and connections to natural history.

    • Analyzing, interpreting, and communicating information.

  • Language Arts:

    • Evaluate information presented in diverse formats such as visual, oral, and textual.

    • Reading, speaking, listening, and applying vocabulary.

Each class begins in the Museum galleries, where students engage with selected artworks to explore a given topic. The Studio Art class then moves to the classroom at the Eva Caten Remington Education Center for a hands-on activity that builds upon the conversations in the galleries.

Students can expect to:

  • develop their observation and critical thinking skills through discussions of works in the Museum’s galleries
  • deepen their understanding of artistic techniques, tools, media and conventions
  • consider the complex cultural and aesthetic contexts out of which artworks emerge
  • encounter a range of approaches to the study of art and visual culture
  • investigate ways in which art and images shape our experience of the world
  • engage in conceptual, imaginative, creative play
  • develop social skills as they interact with their fellow students and teachers

Studio Arts Class (Ages 6 and up) weekly class 
Designed specifically with homeschool students in mind, the Studio Arts Class provides a fun and engaging space for young artists to explore a diverse range of art-making techniques and materials. More than just an art class, this weekly gathering encourages creativity, social connection, and imaginative play.

Each session blends hands-on art projects with meaningful connections to art history, culture, and the work of Frederic Remington. Students will explore drawing, painting, charcoal, pastel, clay, plaster casting, illustration, and more—building confidence in their creative abilities while learning about different times, places, and artistic traditions.

This class fosters collaboration, conversation, and curiosity. Students are encouraged to express themselves, share ideas, and learn from one another in a welcoming, inclusive environment. With a focus on exploration and experimentation, there’s no “right” way to make art—just an open invitation to try new things and have fun. No artistic experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to create!
