CLASSES
Our full service art school's main focus is the training of Boston students of all ages to connect with their surroundings. Returning to some of the same environments during different times of day and through different seasons, students develop their observation skills and increase their knowledge about the world around them. Classes are split between outdoor sessions weather permitting, and in-depth studio technique studies.

Art History Theme: Arts of Africa, Australia & South America
Teachers: Diana | Susannah
Our youngest students are exposed to art history stories in the beginning of each class with knowledge tested weekly. Then each week they get introduced to a new material, be it clay, watercolor, tempera paints or collage. They perfect these materials over time, both getting more comfortable with those and learning to develop their imaginations. The last 10-15 minutes of each class is devoted to FREE draw (as soon as we see that our little artists are getting tired, we change up the tasks). Each semester ends with a field trip to an art museum to see artworks en situe

Teachers: Diana | Susannah
As kids get older, they pay more attention to details and though we vary materials in our curriculum, we're very mindful of every student's unique pace and want them to take their projects to completion. Some projects take one week, others - can take up to three. We use clay, watercolor, tempera paint among other materials. Every semester we study an overarching art history theme that gets subdivided monthly, and each semester ends with a trip to an art museum, to see the artworks in real life.
