Art for Homeschooled Students: Ages 5 – 13

Classes are held in the Museum Academy classrooms located downstairs in the Museum. Enter on the North Patio – pond side at Big Spring Park. Look for the Museum Academy entrance! Space is limited to 12 students per class. Museum gallery visits included for inspiration. All materials are provided for the children’s classes. All New Projects!

Fee covers the dates listed with each class.

If the class you want is SOLD OUT, please email your name and phone number to Laura E. Smith, Director of Education/Museum Academy at lsmith@hsvmuseum.org to be added to the waiting list.

Youth Classes: More information on our website hsvmuseum.org under Learn – Common Questions. Student check-in /check-out is required at the Museum Academy entrance by each parent/guardian. We ask that children 4 and older attend class without a parent or guardian present, unless the student is registered for a parent/child class where one adult can accompany the student to class. There is not a waiting area in the Academy studios. While children are attending class, parents are invited to visit the Museum galleries during regular business hours, Children’s Community Gallery, and Pane e Vino Pizzeria.

One of the many benefits of membership (Family level and above) in the Museum is a discount on art camps, classes and workshops.

Museum Academy Visual Arts Scholarship Program

Scholarships are available for students (ages 3-18) interested in pursuing art who are in need of financial assistance. Download the Visual Arts Scholarship Fund application at hsvmuseum.org.

Inclement Weather Policy for Children and Teens Camps/Classes and High School/Adult Classes/Workshops:

During inclement weather, the Huntsville Museum of Art’s Museum Academy schedule will follow that of the Huntsville City Schools: If the school system closes, the Museum Academy classes will also be postponed. The classes will then meet at their next regularly scheduled time. When camps/classes or workshops are postponed, there will be a recorded message at 256.535.6372. Check the Museum’s website and Facebook page. In the event that Museum Academy camps/classes or workshops are postponed due to inclement weather or other factors beyond our control, we will make every effort to reschedule these classes at the end of the session by adding on an additional week to the schedule.

The Artist’s Studio! Mixed Media
Now in its 29th year, the art program introduces different media and techniques (clay, graphite, colored pencil, marker, and pastel) – into the homeschool curriculum. We’ll take Museum gallery visits to be inspired by different works of art – still life and landscapes as related to exhibitions. Winter Ceramics Session for Homeschooled classes will be offered in January and February 2025. All New Projects!
