Product/Class List

Antler Hollow offers a variety of learning possibilities at various levels of involvement. Students can participate at whatever level is comfortable. All participants, however, are required to sign a Release of Liability for any activity. We put safety first -- our students' safety is our primary concern. However, the unpredictability of the activities we provide is always a constant. We ask for common sense on all levels of association. We are here to share our beautiful ranch, graphics skills, and animals with any and all who would like to work with them. We welcome both children and adults, though we prefer that the students come with some proficiency in computer use (though they do not need to know the programs at the outset) and a good comfort level with animals.

What Exactly is a Tutorship?

"Tutorhship" is a coined word that Mrs. Cox created simply out of necessity. The class design isn't a fellowship, or a scholarship, or an internship -- it isn't a dog obedience class or riding lesson. It is tutoring for a right brain/left brain activity that covers a lot of information in a six-week period. Nowhere else have we seen classes offered of this kind ... so we created them!

Right Brain - Left Brain Learning

A few years ago, Mrs. Cox attended a business seminar for her corporate job's employees. One of the speakers, stressing the need for balanced activity in the workplace (don't sit for too long, don't type for too long, don't talk on the phone for too long, etc.), suggested standing, stretching, walking around, and, oddly enough, coloring with crayons in a coloring book. The speaker explained that the right and left sides of the brain have different roles, yet somehow work together at the same time. However, while the right brain is active, the left brain can "take a break" and coast for a while. Mixing things up in our activities allows our brains to work more efficiently -- both sides pulling their own weight. Tutorships begin each class with right-brain activity, then move to left-brain when we enter the classroom. It's that simple.

This seminar also sparked Mrs. Cox's creation of her electronic watercolors. She did not have a coloring book, so she used Photoshop instead, using the picture's own colors for her pallette. Since that time she has done hand-painted portraits for several private clients. Electronic watercolor painting is also available; see below.
