HOMESCHOOL
VISUAL ARTS
Students in the course will follow similar benchmarks for the Ohio standards for Visual Arts and will learn the basics of painting, drawing, print making, sculpture and art history during the school year. Enrollment in previous quarters is not mandatory for registration throughout the year. Seating is limited to the first 15 students, registration is required the Monday before classes begin to hold a seat in class. We must have five or more students enrolled to hold a class. Students must be school aged children and be potty trained to participate.
Meet the Instructor - Brandon Barnett (Mr. B.)
Bachelor of Entertainment Design, Art Institute of Pittsburgh
Master of Art Education, University of Toledo
Brandon is a lifelong artist and Findlay native. He received his bachelor's degree in Entertainment Design from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and a second in Art Education from the University of Toledo soon after. During the Covid pandemic he left the classroom environment to further his own education and received his master's in art education from UT in 2021. Brandon has experience teaching students of all ages and abilities and enjoys showing how the arts play a role in nearly every aspect of life.
"Just as important, or even more so than a nice project, I want my students to appreciate the process and experience of making art.”
Brandon teaches AMA classes in school classrooms, Homeschool Visual Arts, and many community programs.
