SPRING SESSION: JANUARY 6 - JUNE 3

​​​

After School Art Club is a great alternative to after school care if you are looking for an engaging, fun and innovative way for your child(ren) in grades 1-3 to spend their afternoon. We offer pickup from Lincoln Elementary School at 3:30pm and children from other schools may be dropped off at the studio anytime after 3:45pm.

​

Just a note: ASAC will not replace our regular After School Classes for ages 5-10 and tweens. ASAC is a separate program for our Play Studio :)

​

How will my child get to class?

• Students will be picked up from Lincoln Elementary School at 3:30pm by two of our educators during dismissal and walked down the street as a group to Dot and Line Art Studio.

• Additionally, students that go to other schools may be dropped off by parents at 3:45pm.

​

What will a typical class look like?

• There is 1 Lead Educator and 2 Assistants, with 12-14 children.

• Upon arrival, students will have time to decompress from school, have a snack (provided) and warm-up with some creative games, movement, play and sensory activities. 

• After ~20 minutes of warm-ups, students will have a class meeting. During our meeting, students and teachers will discuss art club agreements, creative ideas students have, and reflect on previous lessons.

• Next, for ~60 minutes students will be led in a daily art activity that will focus on a new material each week, finding new ways to use the material with each lesson. Lastly, students will wind down with a calming drawing activity, game, or story.

 

Will a new project be offered each day?

• We will do an in-depth materials exploration each week focusing on one Artist and related materials such as paint, clay, pastels, watercolors, wire and more. There will be a different project each day using that same material/medium in new and exciting ways.

 

Who are your educators?
