Self-Paced Classes: On your own, but not alone!
A more flexible and affordable option. Starting this fall, all self-paced families will be invited to join a private online forum monitored by Delightful teachers. You can upload your work for feedback, ask questions, share ideas, and get the encouragement you need to succeed! Anytime is a great time to start a self-paced class!
Created by a homeschool mom for Homeschool moms!
Founder of Delightful Art Co., Courtney Sanford, has over 16 years of experience as a homeschool mom and 30 years of experience as an art teacher, writer, and graphic designer, so she understands it's a lot to juggle. She's made it easy for you to give your student a world-class art experience from home! As an adjunct professor of Fine Arts at Bryan College, she's able to offer dual enrollment opportunities for grades 10-12.
Use a book with beautiful art and step-by-step instructions for art, join a live class, or use a self-paced, recorded (asynchronous) class. We've done the research and planning so you can enjoy the experience with your children, or let them do it on their own.
We know homeschool life is busy, so we record the live classes. If you miss one, you can watch the recording at your convenience.
"I wish ALL the subjects could be taught with a sketchbook and paint palette...my daughter would THRIVE!"

We were created to create!
The first thing we learn about God is that He was a creator (Gen. 1:1). Just a few verses later, we learn that we were created in His image (Gen. 1:27). When we create, we are doing what we were created to do! Modern methods of education have an adverse effect on creativity, emphasizing conformity over creativity. We flip the classroom in order to cultivate creativity: instead of worksheets and textbooks, we start with a blank art journal in which students create their own illustrated book on the subject! It is a delightful, engaging way to learn!
"The more we have interacted with DAC, the more we love it - it's been an absolutely perfect fit for Samantha. This Great Books class has been her favorite! When I compare her art pieces from DAC and the other studio where she's doing classes, DAC is decidedly higher quality!"

Learning happens best in relationship!
To build relationships between artists, students, and families, Delightful Art Co. creates opportunities to create together and learn together, such as family study abroad and student art retreats!
The next art retreat dates have been set, so mark your calendar!
