Come on an adventure without ever leaving home!
Nowadays it's a lot safer to stay home, and no one really wants to go anywhere or do anything extra. But your kids still need something more interactive than just watching tv or playing video games (or snapchat and making tiktok videos, in my case)...
This is why I'm in love with The Imaginorium's online options: Outschool! We offer interactive classes similar to the ones we offer at our camps, but your kids take them online from a computer or smartphone in the comfort of your own home. No driving! And this is different from online classes you have to do. I know a lot of kids are feeling "Zoomed out" at the end of a long day of distance learning, but extracurricular classes give social and arts opportunities that enrich life so much.
We choose specific times for the classes, but if the times don't work for your family, you can request other times. I have tried to set up some times during the day for homeschool families as well as afterschool and weekend times for kids who go to regular school.

Ongoing Classes, Ages 11-15, $10-13 per week
In these ongoing courses, students create their own makeup designs based on inspirations. In "Living Art" we create designs based on paintings by famous artists. In "Wounded Princesses" we discuss fairy tale princesses, both the original stories and the more recent adaptations, and some of the challenges inherent in those stories, and then each student works on a makeup design using both beauty and horror effects. Each student works on their own interpretation, and then we compare techniques and designs at the end of the class, allowing any students who wish to be spotlighted. |
