About this event

This dynamic, hands-on class is perfect for young artists who want to explore a wide range of art mediums and techniques while building strong creative foundations. Students begin by developing essential drawing skills like line, shape, and value, then expand into color and composition through painting, mixed-media collage, and printmaking. As the semester progresses, they’ll dive into three-dimensional forms with our sculpture unit, learning how to bring their ideas to life in new ways. The course culminates in a final project that brings together the various techniques they’ve accumulated to provide a deeper understanding of applying their skills in personal artistic expression. From experimenting with cyanotypes and sewing to creating plaster reliefs, children will be introduced to unique materials rarely offered in traditional classrooms, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and creative problem-solving.

A Creative Journey Through Art Mediums II

Tue, Sep 15 · 3:15 PM

ColorPop UES @ 63rd · Lenox Hill

This exciting continuation of Creative Journey I invites both new and returning students to dive deeper into the world of art through all-new materials, techniques, and projects. Following a similar structure, students will build upon foundational skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture—while exploring more advanced concepts like multi-layered compositions and functional sculptures. Young artists will experiment with new dynamic processes such as screenprinting and felting, gaining hands-on experience with techniques rarely introduced at this age level. Each project is thoughtfully designed to encourage problem-solving, independence, and artistic confidence. Whether your child is just beginning or continuing their creative journey, this class offers a fresh and inspiring experience that expands their skills while introducing entirely new ways to think, create, and express themselves.
