Open Air Electives is an outdoor drop-off program for K-8th Grade homeschool students featuring Art, PE, and other elective classes as a package deal offered by local businesses in Loudoun County, VA. This program is focused primarily on electives, and families from a variety of backgrounds enjoy our classes.  While there is no statement of faith required to participate and all are joyfully welcomed, we also welcome organic faith-based conversations. Our character lessons in PE feature wholesome God-given character traits, and we occasionally have featured a Christian organization for an optional field trip experience.

6-8th Grade Middle School Pilot Base Package Information

We are proud to announce that GamePoint Athletics will offer Physical Education and Mama Miss Art Studio will offer Art as the new middle school Base Package at the Claude Moore Park location.  Art will be offered from 9-10 AM, with students moving directly to PE afterward, which will be offered from 10-11 AM.  An additional elective may be added for an optional and additional cost (see below).  The base package is priced at $300/student, and includes 8 weeks of classes, all overhead and rental fees associated with running Open Air, as well as access to community-style field trips on Thursdays/ Fridays.

P.E. by GamePoint Athletics

Physical Education offers a variety of enriching activities that focus on teamwork, friendly competition, skill development, and tons of fun!  Children will participate in various types of PE games that involve tag, parachute, relays, and strategic invasion games such as Capture the Jewels.  Throughout the Fall and Spring, children will also participate in sports units including soccer, flag football, wiffle ball, Omni-kin ball, games with paddles, extreme kickball, nerf dodgeball, and more!  Each class, children will learn the value of a specific God-given character trait (such as resilience or courage) and the value it has for their lives.  This typically happens in short 5 minute small groups, and throughout the lesson as the children are engaging in the curriculum in fun and interactive ways.

Students may sometimes be combined with Upper Elementary P.E. for specific games requiring large numbers of students.

Supplies:  Students will need closed-toe sneakers and a water bottle.

Art by Mama Miss Art Studio

This process-based art class is designed for middle school students who love to create, experiment, and think creatively. Rather than focusing solely on technical drawing or traditional fine art, students will explore a wide variety of artistic processes, materials, and design concepts while developing confidence in their own creative voice.
Students will investigate the elements and principles of design through engaging, hands-on projects inspired by artists, history, nature, architecture, culture, and the world around them. The park itself may occasionally become part of the creative process through observation, sketching, and artistic exploration. Projects may include drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking, collage, and creative design.
Students will be encouraged to develop their own ideas, solve creative challenges, and discover new ways of expressing themselves in a supportive, collaborative environment. Emphasis is placed on experimentation, artistic growth, and the creative process just as much as the finished piece.
Each student will maintain an Art Journal throughout the semester. This mixed media sketchbook will be used for brainstorming ideas, sketching concepts, artist studies, color experiments, observational drawing, and documenting artistic growth. Students will bring a small personal art kit each week, while all specialty materials for projects are provided by the instructor.
Student Supply Kit (Bring Each Week):
  • Mixed Media Paper Sketchbook (9″×12″ or smaller) – Art Journal
  • 2 Wooden Pencils (HB/#2)
  • White Vinyl or Hi-Polymer Eraser
  • Black Ultra Fine Sharpie
  • Black Fine Point Sharpie
  • 12- or 24-count Colored Pencils
  • Pencil pouch to keep everything together
Whether your student already loves making art or simply enjoys creating, this class provides an inspiring space to build skills, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for creativity.
