More Information About Online Arts Education with The Umbrella @ Home

Most art classes and workshops will be conducted through Zoom. Additionally for classes that want more functionality, we have invested in setting up Google Classroom for The Umbrella.
We have detailed step-by-step instructions available for the initial set up of Google Classroom on The Umbrella @Home's Frequently Asked Questions page.
We are running 2-month semesters with classes typically running 4-6 weeks. See projected schedule below.
We are offering a wide variety of classes that meet regularly, workshops that meet once or twice, and art activities that can be downloaded and viewed on demand.
We are working with some of your favorite teachers to make our online art experiences of the highest possible quality, secure, easy, affordable, and a great way to connect with a community of other artists.

What Students Are Saying About The Umbrella @ Home Classes

"Navigating electronics with clay on your hands is a challenge, but Liz managed it well and created a relaxed, engaging space virtually."

"Kat is an outstanding instructor! Excellent explanations of assignments and great examples. Always positive in her feedback."

"Mrs. A [Lois Andersen] on was SO much fun and really kept the girls in the class chatting and creating, which they so desperately needed during this time. She has a lovely sense of humor and whimsy that my daughter connected with immediately."
