MONDAYS

the art of storytelling

with Christie

Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders

Class Time: 3:15-5:15pm

Dates: 1/6/25-3/24/25*

*No class on 2/17 for Midwinter Break

Art often tells a story, and our children have so much to say! Join us as we investigate how artists can use their work to communicate without words. As we explore different ways to use art to amplify our voices, we'll choose the mediums we work in based on student interest and the message they want to convey. So we may end up working on giant paintings, building pop-up books, using mixed media to create sculptures, dabbling in photography or even doing some woodworking! It all starts with the story our artists want to tell.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the world while flying on the back of a bird? Have you ever thought about what underground worm cities look like? Have you ever followed a map to find a fairy kingdom hidden in the woods? In this class we will be exploring both real and imaginary places we've never been, mapping our travels through the use of drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and more. We'll keep travel journals to document the process and investigate what we notice along the way, and will discover magic everywhere we go. Join us on this exciting adventure!

art that moves

Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders

Class Time: 3:15-5:15pm

Dates: 1/8/25-3/26/25*

*No class 2/19 for Midwinter Break

Everything in the world around us moves, even the things that we think are standing still. Buildings sway, plants wave in the wind and we are always moving! So why should our art stand still? In this class we will make art that moves, either on its own, with help from our hands or help from the wind. We will make marionette puppets, drawn animations, books with moving parts, wind animated sculptures and objects that wind up and  go! We will observe movement in the world around us and jump into the world of moving art.

What happens when we mix blue paint with yellow paint? What happens if I mix my idea with your idea? Or shaving cream and tempera paint? Oil pastels and watercolors? The head of a bird and the body of a frog? 

We will spend our Thursdays finding the answers to these questions as we combine colors, craft creatures, merge materials, and collaborate with each other in our explorations.

sparks!

Class Time: 3:15-5:15pm

*No class 2/21 for Midwinter Break

What sparks our imagination? Where do our ideas come from? Can we be inspired by the texture, shape, color, or smell of a material? Does learning a new technique make us think in a way we've never thought before? This class aims to explore how we may be inspired by materials, techniques, and the world around us. Our artists will use common materials in uncommon ways and push the limits of traditional art-making!  We will also look at the work of other artists and learn what inspires them. We may find that being introduced to new things gives us new ideas, or that we like sticking to the same themes no matter the medium--there are no wrong answers, only sparks of inspiration.

Class Time: 3:15-5:15pm

Dates: 4/5/24-6/21/24*

Doors, windows, portals, pathways - many surprises lie just out of sight. In this class we will explore surprise and transformation in art. We will make flaps and popups in our very own book projects. We will disguise treasure chests inside sculptures. We will explore doorways and pathways and openings in our memory and real life, and will paint fantastical worlds in the great beyond. In this class we will draw, paint, sculpt and build stories. Join us to learn how things morph and transform when you look beyond the surface.

  • Do you offer Drop In Classes?
    We do! We offer drop in options for any of our Early Childhood classes that are not full. Drop In registration opens the first day of the semester. Simply click here or on the "Drop In Class" button beside the class you are interested in to register. The class fee includes one adult and one child. You can register for as many drop in classes as you like, there is no limit. We cannot accommodate refunds or credits for missed drop-in classes at this time. Advanced registration for drop in classes is required, we cannot accommodate drop-ins at the door/at the time of class.
  • What if my child misses a class?
    We are not able to offer refunds for missed classes unless we cancel a class. Each enrolled family can schedule 2 makeup classes per semester. If you enroll in a class, you'll be given instructions for how to arrange a makeup, should you miss a class. Makeups are permitted as space allows and are on a first come, first served basis. Makeups must be scheduled for the same semester in which you are enrolled. They do not carry over to future semesters. Drop-in classes are not eligible for makeups, credit, or refunds.
  • Does a grownup have to attend classes with my child?
    For our Early Childhood Classes (ages 1.5-4) we do ask that a grownup stay with your child for the duration of class. Our teachers lead each session, but having the child's grownup stay not only helps the child feel comfortable, but also offers adults tools and techniques for continuing art experiences at home.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    We understand that sometimes things come up that make it no longer possible for your child to attend class with us. But we ask that you also understand that late cancellations mean we are unlikely to be able to fill the space in the class, but have already made arrangements for staff and materials. We cannot accommodate refunds or credits for missed drop-in classes at this time. You have two options for cancellation of semester-long classes: Option 1: More than 4 weeks prior to the first class? You can receive credit for the full class minus a $75 cancellation fee. Less than 4 weeks prior to the first class but more than 1 week? You can receive 50% credit for the class minus a $75 cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than one week prior to the start of class are not eligible for credit. Option 2: If it's more than one week prior to the start of class and we are able to fill your spot from the waitlist (if there is one), we will refund you the cost of the class minus a $75 cancellation fee. We cannot give refunds less than one week prior to the start of class. Please note that we only offer full (100%) refunds for a class if WE cancel the class. We are also unable to offer refunds for days or classes missed due to illness or travel. Even if it's COVID. Two makeup classes per semester are available for all of our Early Childhood classes. Drop-in classes are not eligible for credit or refunds.
  • How do the semesters work?
    With the goal of creating classes that are at different price points and therefore accessible to more families, we split the weekday semester into two parts: Semester A and Semester B. You can register for just one, or both (now for a discount!). In response to feedback provided by families, we running our Saturday classes as one longer semester. We welcome your feedback on the topic!
  • Can I bring my child's sibling if they are outside the age group?
    Possibly! We want to work with families to create a meaningful art experience for everyone attending our classes. So if you would like to bring a child's sibling who is outside the age group listed in the description, please just email us: info@theartannexbrooklyn.com. If they are within the age group, please just sign them up for a drop in that day.
  • Do you offer discounts or scholarships?
    We fundamentally believe that people of all ages deserve access to high quality arts programming. If you or your child would like to attend one of our classes but cannot for financial reasons, please contact us at info@theartannexbrooklyn.com.
