The Art Shop

Artist will join teacher Jeannie Arteiter in art processes with a diverse selection of tools and materials. Many different ways to paint, sculpt, collage, print, and draw will be introduced. Children will develop an art vocabulary, practice decision-making skills, and develop self-esteem through the creation of process-oriented art-themed projects. Children will enjoy the “mess is best” atmosphere in the class, and will use tools and materials found in the environment to create and experiment with.

Toddler (2's and 3's) Art Class at Mother Cabrini High School.

Mondays 10 am and 11am

ART Masters Class (4's and 5's)
Tuesdays at 2pm and 3pm

Tuition is $160 for 7 classes and all art supplies.

Our classes are limited to 10 children and their caregivers. Classes feature creative lesson plans tailored to the capacities of the group, and always involve a period of free play art and choices. Children will participate in small science experiments to discover concepts such as velocity, solids and liquids, or other sensory exploration.

ART Masters Class This class is designed for ages 4 and 5. Each week we study a different famous artist. Children will receive a brief history of the style and life of the artist. Now that the children have a true connection to the artist, it is time to introduce the techniques which made the art revolutionary. After learning the inspiration and techniques of each Master, the children are ready for the real fun. Young artists will create their own Masterpieces in the style of the artist that we are studying that week!

Our Art Shop projects always involve safe, washable materials appropriate for early childhood as well as simple materials found in your home. Children will collaborate on group murals as well as individual projects. Classes are designed for children to develop a sense of curiosity and wonder, and to enhance their appreciation for art. Art Shop projects inspire creativity and critical thinking skills.

Please note that grown-up participation in the art shop is essential! We require all children to be accompanied by an adult. Infant siblings are welcome in strollers, carseats, bjorns, or sling carriers. Art Shop materials and activities are not designed for toddlers under two years old.
