In the recent history, the Turkish higher education has experienced two periods of disruption. After these periods face-to-face education was suspended and distance education was started in universities, and students were directed to different learning environments. The distance education decisions taken by the authorities proved that education could continue in non-formal environments. The home has turned into an important learning environment during the pandemic and the distance education process that started afterwards. This research, which was conducted to reveal the perspectives of the students who use the home as a non-formal environment in distance art education, focused on various questions. The ‘exploratory case study’ method was used to reveal the perspectives of the students who use the home as a non-formal environment in distance art education. The research data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and visual documents. As a result of the research, it was concluded that non-formal environments shared by students vary in appearance and capabilities. Students have different experiences due to this diversity. When the findings related to the question were evaluated, it was concluded that the students associated the home as a non-formal environment with 21 positive and 35 negative concepts. Following the results, it may be recommended to conduct research questioning how to increase the capabilities of the non-formal environments and to research the process evaluations of students working at home.
