The intent of this class is to provide a new challenge with every project, adjusted for abilities and ages 6-9. We expect our students to be very excited about the new opportunites to create so many different subjects. It’s important because technology is changing at a fast pace requiring new creative skills. Our goal is to bring back ‘old school’ skills, using hands and fingers to manipulate different materials instead of a stylus on a glass surface (phones, tablets, etc.). We will introduce them to critical thinking: they will learn the appropriate use of various papers, fabrics such as vinyls, knitted, varoius cloth as well as mediums: markers and paints, special glues, and other decorative trims and finishings.
FASHION
We are so happy to offer your child an opportunity to step inside the ever changing world of fashion that is appropriate for their age level. It’s a great adventure to be creating designs for fabric, exploring the use of colors and accessories, and creating their own designs or characters on SNEAKERS, CROCS,TEE SHIRTS, CAPS, SHORT JACKETS and anything else that will be unique and fun.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Students will design a age appropriate room, house or city scape using 3d drawings as we teach them the rules of perspective & colors. They will learn how to use the rulers, T squares and other tools to create realistic views and details.
ARTECH
Ages 10 & up
Saturdays 10 - 11:30 am
Thursdays 4:30 - 6:00 pm

Almost everything in our lives were designed by someone who had a thought about a need or purpose. We are surrounded by colors, textures, natural and machine made materials that will later become the goods we need or want. How and where do they come from? People that use their hands to make them, hands that use machines of all sizes and purposes!
Our goal is to have our students learn how to think, plan, use their imagination, use critical thinking of the how, why, and where things become necessary or useful. They can learn how to work in clays, for beautiful figures of all kinds. They weill learn how to illustrate 3D items, using perspective guidelines for landscapes, buildings,(interior or exterior) still life and more. Sadly, they are not exposed to these skills in school. These are useful, enjoyable experiences to hopefully be remembered and applied in the upper grades.
Everything illustrated below started with a thought , a passing idea, then a plan to design, and become something real. Your kids may surprise themselves when they act on their thoughts!

Creative thinking helps artistic talent grow. The ability to come up with great ideas and designs gives every student many possible paths for their future. Nothing can replace imagination when it comes to expressing ideas. We show our young students how to express themselves and how to use the many mediums to get the best results. Learning how to form creative concepts is a very important skill that will be useful in many areas. Brainstorming as a class builds creative confidence and cannot be underestimated.
Many of our students in this ages are unsure of their own abilities and hesitate to ask questions. We love to remind them that questions are important because when they are answered, the whole class is learning and grateful. This helps to increase their self esteem and knowledge at the same time. All of our teachers are very kind and patient and truly enjoy sharing their expertise with students of all ages.
