2nd/3rd Grade Wednesday Enrichment A

About this event

2:30-3:30 PM Through the Lens is a photography class where kids learn how to tell stories and capture their world through images. Students will explore the basics of photography in a fun, age appropriate way, including lighting, composition, perspective, framing, and how to photograph people, places, and objects with intention. Each week includes mini photo challenges and creative prompts such as textures, shadows, color hunts, emotion portraits, and storytelling sequences. Students will practice giving and receiving kind feedback while building confidence in their own creative eye. If students have an old or inexpensive camera at home, they are welcome to bring it to class , but it is completely optional. The teacher will always provide ways for every student to participate, with or without a personal camera. 3:30-4:30 PM Global Art Step into our international art studio, where every week is a passport to a new perspective! In Global Art Lab, students learn about contemporary and historical artists from around the world, then channel that inspiration into their own work. One week might be dedicated to Lucia Hierro’s collage art inspired by Dominican bodegas; the next, we’re cutting like Matisse or building Kusama-inspired dot sculptures. We use this visual storytelling to discuss culture, identity, and self-expression. By the end of the session, your child will have a sketchbook filled with global inspiration—and a heart full of curiosity and pride.
