About this Speaker
Julie originally got into homeschooling on a "trial basis". She has stayed with it for over 20 years in total, seeing her daughter all the way through grades K-12 and now enjoying the journey with her 8th-grade son. Because of her children's involvement in local home school groups, she has had the opportunity to engage with local children in art classes and has assisted many students with their college prep efforts. The biggest struggle she has noticed is the struggle homeschool parents have with providing satisfactory arts education for their children. Home educated students who look ahead to a future in the visual arts often do not know how to prepare for college acceptance. Parents try to find ways to either avoid messes or conversely, get their children interested in the arts. Everyone wonders, "what counts?". Whether your student is reluctant or enthusiastic, Julie is excited to speak with you about how you can help them in their home school journey. Let her unveil the mystery that often seems to cover the topic of "DIY Arts Education". You will leave excited and inspired.
