winter program notes
In response to family feedback, we are continuing our two, shorter classes on Fridays for focused art time, rather than one longer class. These classes are designed for artists who are excited to take a deeper dive into art, but maybe do not want or need the longer 2 or 2.5 hour classes.
We have not changed the structure of our Monday-Thursday classes. Those still start with time for children to have snack, enjoy books solo or read to them by our teachers, and participate in open-ended art activities so they can decompress from school.
Students and teachers then come together for a meeting to start the activity of the day only after everyone has arrived and had time to settle in, usually closer to 3:45 or 4pm (we let the children guide the timing).
So if your child's school lets out later, they can still join the class and not miss anything, as long as they arrive by 3:45 or so.
Monday
fashion for fauna
with Christie
Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm
Dates: 1/4/27 - 3/29/27*
*No class 2/15 for Midwinter Break
What happens when you ask the current students to help design the class for the next semester? The theme of the class becomes the intersection of animals and costume or fashion design. Join us this winter as we figure out how these two interests fit together, and make some fabulous wearable art; some for humans and some for animals! We'll also journey into soft sculpture, designing and building our own creature stuffies. We'll give a nod to the animal kingdom through painting, drawing, collage and more.

We'll start with ourselves, our friends, and our families and see how our subjects evolve! We'll explore color-mixing, brushwork and composition as we create unique and exciting works of art throughout the semester. We'll look at artists who painted people such as Alice Neel, Kehinde Wiley and more for inspiration as we work!

Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm
Dates: 1/6/27 - 3/31/27*
*No class 2/17 for Midwinter Break
Sparkling spheres, colorful chains, and tantalizing textures. Focusing on open-ended creative prompts, process-based painting and drawing techniques, this class will combine fun art-making methods and the power of the process. We’ll focus first on exploring process-based art methods like painting with marbles, mono-prints, paper marbling, or oil pastel transfers to create a library of materials and then we'll deconstruct and reconstruct those images to create dynamic works of art. Join us on a journey to discover how our works of art evolve!

Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm
Dates: 1/7/27 - 4/1/27*
*No class 2/18 for Midwinter Break
On Thursdays this winter we'll look to our own neighborhood of Park Slope for inspiration! We will take architecture walks along 7th Avenue, looking closely at the textures, shapes, patterns, and spaces that make up where we live. Through walking, noticing, collecting, and making, we will explore what makes our neighborhood special. Observation and play will be at the center of this class. We will use found materials, drawing, sculpture, cyanotypes and model-making to recreate and reimagine the things we see every day, from buildings and storefronts to sidewalks and murals. We will look closely at the small details that often go unnoticed and find ways to bring them into our own artwork.

Dates: 1/8/27 - 4/2/27*
*No class 2/19 for Midwinter Break
*There IS class 3/26
We’ve spent the fall semester being inspired by the techniques of established artists. In this new term, we’ll turn our focus to ourselves! What kinds of paints do we like to use? How do we like to use them? What sort of stuff do we want to draw? Do we want it to be big, or small?
We will explore these questions and more as we move through a variety of sculpture, painting, and drawing techniques. We will create our very own brushes to make special marks, paint colorful self-portraits, and sculpt our favorite objects out of clay. Come along to explore how we like to express ourselves through art!

Join us on Fridays as we develop, design and draw characters of all kinds! Our tutu-toting tigers, daring dragons, fiery foxes, or hairy humans will begin as drawings and then may morph into a painting, a collage or even a sculpture. Students will determine the direction of their work as we present them with a variety of techniques and creative prompts each week to encourage their stylistic growth.

MONDAYS
studio to gallery
with Christie
Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm
Dates: 9/14/26 - 12/21/26
In this class we'll explore what it means to be an exhibiting artist! Students will learn about how artists put together a show, how curators design shows and gallery spaces, even how they install work! Students will of course also create their own works of art (we'll explore a variety of media, and students will choose which one they'll use for their displayed pieces). We'll partner with galleries around the neighborhood including 440 Gallery, and the class will culminate in an exhibit and artists' reception at Spoke the Hub, which will remain up for the month of January! This class will also include some walking field trips to local galleries.

TUESDAYS
prints, patterns and paint!
with Christie + Eleanore
Ages: K-1st Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm
Dates: 9/15/26 - 12/22/26
Come explore the magic of patterns and printmaking in art! In your day to day life you might see polka dotted socks on somebody sitting next to you on the train, teeny tiny stripes when you look closely at a leaf, and zig zags on the bottom of your sneakers. Patterns are all around us! In this class we'll create monoprints, collographs, block prints and more, layering our work with our paintings and drawings. We will get inspired by artists like Gustav Klimt, Lynne Drexler and Matthew Wong who used patterns as the foundation of their art practices, making an ordinary vase come alive, or a forest look like millions of dots.

WEDNESDAYS
This class will focus on collections, both literally and metaphorically. In a literal sense, we will work with collage, make sculptures with collections of found objects, and build vessels to store our most treasured collections—wether they be memories or acorns. And, metaphorically, we’ll collect colors by doing paint mixing exercises, we’ll make painting series, and we’ll collect images from the world around us by doing a photography project. Join us on Wednesdays as we collect artistic experiences together!

THURSDAYS
This class will be taking a deep dive to explore the humble medium of paper! Our friend of function, made from the earth. We will be exploring the art of refurbished paper, using recycled paper materials such as newspaper or found paper to make handmade paper sheets. We will be playing with engraving objects into our paper, making paper sculptures, paper masks, dying paper and working collectively to make loooong sheets of paper that wind themselves around the room. We will explore how paper can be molded, adorned, and utilized. In this class we will be inspired by artists such as Aimee Lee, Amanda Degener, Nnenna Okore, and more as we discover the many ways that paper is beautiful, holdable, and full of potential!

This class will look at the work and techniques of a wide range of drawers and painters for inspiration. From Ruth Asawa’s careful lines and patterns to the colorful landscapes of David Hockney. We will start by working with materials and techniques informed by each artist to see what they inspire us to do, and then we’ll look at the work of the artists. The students in this class will have a chance to work diligently and develop their style and skills as we explore a variety of drawing and painting techniques!

books,comics + Zines
with Sol
Ages: 2nd-5th Graders
Class Time: 4:30-5:30pm
Dates: 9/11/26 - 12/18/26
This class will focus on collaborative work and the power of imagination through a wide variety of media. Together, we'll paint murals of landscapes and cities and individually we'll make buildings and trees to populate them. We'll draw huge heads as a group and each of us will make different eyes, noses, or mouths for them. We will also dedicate some classes to our interests as individual artists as we explore the difference between being part of a group and working alone. We'll also make jigsaw puzzles, mosaics, and stamp patterns as we think about all the ways that individual pieces - and artists - come together to form a whole.
