Art Class Schedules

Let’s look at the art of contemporary designer and artist Marcus Oakley. Using recycled cardboard, let’s cut, paint, and collage with cardboard to make an interesting relief sculpture.

The inspirational art and social movement of Tyree Guynton will teach the students about turning trash into treasure, and how pride can make a difference in their community. Robots will be made from recycled objects.

Polluted Waters? How about a natural solution: Send in the oysters! Let’s look at the magical filtering qualities of the humble oyster and see how New York City is using 11 million oysters in the New York Harbor to clean the polluted waters of the Hudson River. As artists, let’s use watercolors to appreciate the beautiful oyster shell.

Local artist Sophia Constantine’s work will be on display.

The beautiful butterfly has been a muse to artists and fashion designers, but butterflies also hardworking pollinators for our environment. The butterfly has it all! Let’s learn about symmetry and create an intricate butterfly drawing.

The Fabergé Eggs from Russia’s House of Fabergé number 52, but only 46 are in existence! Where are the missing eggs? Why are they so valuable? What is their history? We are all excited to make some very fancy eggs.

The end of our spring semester is a great day to plant a seed. Earth works created by Robert Long and Agnes Denes will inspire our love of the outdoors. A funny face planter can be a self-portrait of a creative creature. 

Art Time for Kids will be closed March 13th-18th, to reflect the Spring Break schedule of the  city and county schools.
