Animal Art: Exploring Texture and Pattern

Ages 4 and 5

Tuesday, 3-5pm

Instructor: Maral Pugh

8 classes, $100

In this class children will explore texture and pattern in the animal world.  We will draw inspiration from the stripes on a tiger's fur, the rough and bumpy lines of elephant skin, and the vibrant patterns of bird feathers.  Children will have the opportunity to participate in instructor assisted research of their own favorite animals, as well as enhance their interest through puppet making, storytelling, and acting.

Creature Creations: Animal Adaptations

Ages 6-8

Wednesday 3:30-5:30pm

Instructor: Maral Pugh

8 classes, $100

In this class children will explore animals and their defensive adaptations, such as a chameleon using camouflage, the hard shell of a turtle, or insects that resemble sticks and leaves.  Students will work closely with the instructor to research animals both individually and as a group and then work on both 2D and 3D creations representing their discoveries.  Children will have the opportunity to use a variety of art materials and assist in the planning and execution of projects based on their own interests.

Broadway Boogie Woogie: The Intersection of Art and Music

Ages 4 and 5

Thursday, 10am-12noon 

Instructor: Benares Angeley

8 classes, $100

In this class students will explore many different styles of music as related to art making 

processes.  Learn about lines and shapes while listening to boogie woogie music, create colorful collages to jazz, and invent your own creative musical instruments.  We will do lots of listening, moving, making, and creating!

New Open Studio Hours!

Hello friends!

I just wanted to let everyone know we are streamlining Open Studio hours at Children's Art Lab.  These changes are being made based on conversations with parents and experience over the last six weeks with times and days that seem to work best for the largest amount of families.  The new hours (easy to remember!) are:

Mondays 10-2

Tuesdays 10-2

Saturdays10-2

These new hours begin Monday, February 23.

Open Studio hours are designed for children and adult caregivers to explore art concepts in the Art Lab space.  There is no need to sign up for Open Studio ahead of time--just drop in, stay as long as you like, and make art!  Children can paint, work with 3-D materials, and experiment with a variety of techniques that change daily.  Open Studio is not a guided class, but an instructor is present to provide support, clean-up materials, and set up thought provoking explorations for children and caregivers.

$10/child, ages 12 months and up.

This schedule will be consistent through June, when our hours will change slightly for summer.  And, just in case you're already thinking ahead to summer, we will be offering classes for children ages 4-12 from 10am-12 noon nearly everyday in July and August, as well as open studio hours every afternoon and Saturday! 

Thank you for supporting Children's Art Lab!
