Kids can be fashion designers too! You may not know how to sew or create patterns yet, but you are an artist who can dream of the next NEW styles the world will wear! In this class, we use wooden forms of the figure to create outfits, and share with other students while we blast music and walk them down the runway! Your designs are removable so you can create as many as you would like for weeks! How fun is it to see young desingers peruse tables full of cloth remnants, ribbon, beads, feathers, leather, yarn, and carry it back to their workstation ready to create!? We discuss patterns, and plan out designs using graphite and watercolors. We use tacky glue, hot-glueand at times, needle & thread. This is a very fun, open-studio class in which each student can work independently. Also,...remember! Fashion Design is not ONLY FOR GIRLS! Fashion is a serious, and competitive art form, and we have incredible creations from ALL of our artists! At the end of each class, we turn up the music, do our power walks around the studio, and give each compliments on our favorites! If you are looking for an incredibly fun art class, YOU FOUND IT!

This class runs for 4 consecutive days; Monday 6/3, Tuesday 6/4, Wednesday 6/5 & Thursday, 6/6/24 from 1:00pm-2:30pm.

SUMMER SESSION

Week 3: June 17th - 20th, 2024

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday: 9:00am-10:30am

This 4 day class designed for artists from Kindergaten to 8th graders.

Who does not LOVE creating funny faces with their drawing!?  Changing the eyes, noses, clothes and hair can yield a new character every time! Not only will students learn to sketch parts of the human face, adding emotion and hilarity, but we will look at many styles of cartooning and animation.  Manga, The Ghibli Anime studios, Looney tunes, Hannah Barbara, or classics like Popeye, Spiderman, and the Flintstones all strike a chord with comic lovers of every age.

We will work in pencil, pen, ink, watercolor, colored pencil, and possibly your tablet! We will also talk about stereotyping. The same tool that we use to create cartoon characters can also be hurtful in our daily life, so it is important to create with care. This class is SO fun, and I am excited to see students' work! Please join us!

This class runs consecutively;  Monday 6/17, Tuesday 6/18, Wednesday 6/19 & Thursday 6/20/2024 from 9:00am -10:30 am.

Born in Kutzville, Pennsylvania, Keith Haring arrived in New York in 1978 as a scholarship student of the School of Visual Arts. All that once, he began to experience in energetic, multicultural,expressive urban community. Keith was particularly inspired by the beauty and the spontaneity of graffiti that he saw in the subways. Growing up his dad drew cartoons and this greatly inspired Keith to create a visual language or vocabulary that was very personal to him! His entire life he saw a large disconnect between cartooning and the  “real“ art world.“ art is not an elitist activity reserved for the appreciation of a few, but for everyone.” He said.In this class, students will use markers and paint to create visual icons, characters, and language through drawing! We will immerse ourselves in the playfulness and games of creating these wonderful messages!!We will definitely be looking for accomplished artists to work on a mural!

This is class that runs consecutively; Monday 6/24, Tuesday 6/25, Wednesday 6/26 & Thursday 6/27/24 from 9:00am-10:30am.
