About this event

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Focusing on the island of Cuba, we’ll learn as much as we can about its history in a semester. We’ll look at the Natives that were in the Caribbean when the Spaniards arrived, as well as going into shipping and piracy in the Age of Exploration. We will continue into Spanish colonization and hopefully end by briefly studying the Cuban Revolution, with figures and events such as Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, J. F. Kennedy, Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, being our key milestones. Our main project will be a build of the old city of Havana, perhaps including an old car. We will also look at Cuban art, literature, music, and musical instruments. THE STUDIO: Art-intensive, with a focus on multi-media art making and history learning. Students will gain confidence in their art skills as they work with quality art materials and build their own miniature worlds. Each class includes a topical or historical lesson, followed by project led art-making time. We teach history through art! Our afternoon workshops are supplemental learning sessions to your child's education, as we add geography and history to all of our art classes. Our unique curriculum is designed and taught by Anna (MFA), Juan Carlos Donado (PhD in Philosophy), and Lucy Schwartzreich (BFA). School Pickup: Mondays: Brooklyn Arbor, PS 132 Tuesdays: Brooklyn Arbor, PS 132, PS 18, PS 84 Wednesdays: Brooklyn Arbor, PS 132, PS 18, C’e Montessori (limited PS 84 upon request) Thursdays: Brooklyn Arbor, PS 132, PS 84 *IS 318 Students walk over in a group on Fridays Want to learn more about our studio to see if we're a good fit for your child?

Intro to World War I (grades 2-5) **Dual Language** | Tuesday, Fall 2026

Goose Grease House | Studio A · Williamsburg

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Beginning around 1870, our studies will begin with oil replacing coal, the internal combustion engine, and this leading into the First World War. We will study how the Second Industrial Revolution developed the machines used in WWI by making a related art object, potentially a trench. We will be taking a close look at inventions and natural resources, as well as geopolitics and military history. We will be thinking through the deep transformations that human beings went through as the ‘machine’ started to be a reality of war as well. **We will be running this class as a Spanish/English dual language curriculum. Notes will be written in Spanish and English and art instruction will be given in Spanish and English. Students should have a basic understanding of Spanish. This class is suitable for advanced first graders and up. First graders should be able to write comfortably and listen to historical lessons. This would also be a great fit for kids who have spent at least one semester in Studio B. THE STUDIO: Art-intensive, with a focus on multi-media art making and history learning.

Intro to Mythology (grades PreK-1) | Tuesday, Fall 2026

Goose Grease House | Studio B · Williamsburg

CLASS DESCRIPTION: As mythology has fascinated our students since the very beginnings of Goose Grease, this course is designed for them to plunge right in. Always in an age appropriate way, we will be concerned with the deep questions myths pose, as well as the similarities sometimes encountered between different myths in different cultures. We will spend time studying some main Greek, Roman, Norse, Aztec, and perhaps Indian myths as we make different art objects relevant both historically and culturally. We will potentially make a Greek amphora, a Roman statuette, a Norse ship, and an Aztec mask. THE STUDIO: Art-intensive, with a focus on multi-media art making and history learning.

(TUESDAYS 18-23 MOS) Move & Make

A Rosie Day · Williamsburg

(TUESDAYS 18-23 MOS) Move & MAKE Ages: 18 to 23 months, with a grown-up Schedule: Tuesdays, 9:30 – 10:30 AM (enroll one day or for all!) Season: September 15 – December 15, 2026 Sessions: 13 Tuesdays (closed 11/3 & the week of Nov 23–27) Our tiniest movers are always on the go, so we move with them. This class blends gentle toddler yoga with the warm, hands-on sensory art A Rosie Day is known for. We stretch tall like sunflowers, sway like trees, crawl like busy squirrels, and breathe like the wind, and then we bring all that movement to the art table for squishy, colorful, wonderfully messy creating. Here is how we break up the hour, and why it works so well for little ones. We always begin on the mat with movement. Starting with yoga helps our busy bodies shake out their wiggles, tune into themselves, and settle into focus, so that by the time we reach the art table they are calm, present, and ready to create. From there we flow into collaborative, sensory art in a process-based studio, where children paint, pour, squish, and build right alongside one another. Movement first, then making, and the two are always connected. Little artists will move at their own pace in a warm, unhurried room. The season follows the world outside, from early fall sunshine to first snow, so every week brings a fresh theme, a new pose, and a new way to paint, print, and play. This is a grown up and me class, so your favorite caregiver stays close for cuddles, encouragement, and the occasional handprint. ** This season, our studio kiln comes alive! any time we work with natural clay, little sculptor's creations will be fired, then painted by the artists, and hand-glazed by our teachers, transforming their squishy handmade art into treasured keepsakes that everyone will cherish for years to come! Meet Your Movement Teacher, Lily: Lily brings together two of the things this program is built on: movement and art. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and Visual Arts from Fordham University, along with more than 500 hours of vinyasa yoga training and a Children's Yoga Instructor certification from the Circle Yoga Cooperative, which means every class is guided by someone who truly understands both how little bodies move and how young imaginations create. She has spent years working with children, teaching at yoga summer camps where she has led art projects for groups of young learners and mentoring students in visual arts, and she has a gift for creating warm, encouraging spaces where children feel safe to explore, get messy, and discover at their own pace. When she is not on the mat or at the art table, Lily is passionate about art education, photography, and finding new ways to help children learn through play! **Class email will be sent out the week before the semester begins with a dedicated WhatsApp group per class!

A Rosie Day · Williamsburg

Art Lab Days: Tuesdays, September 15 to December 22 Ages: 6-9 years old Time: 3pm-6pm PS 84, CE Montessori & Arbor Pickup Available Hands in the clay, threads on the loom, and beads on a real handmade necklace! Art Lab is a tactile, process based after-school built around fiber arts, mixed media, and jewelry making, with sculptural clay work woven through the whole semester...we have our very own kiln!! Each week pairs a short tactile warm up with extended studio time exploring hand building clay, hand stitching, mixed media painting, and paper sculpture. We love tying our projects back to artists working in these same mediums across New York City right now, so your young artist can see how the skills they're building connect to a whole world of working studios across the city. Pieces stay with us through the semester, building toward a true family showcase. When the last piece is glazed, woven, or assembled, your artist walks their own family through the gallery they helped install and finished by their own hands. This is not a craft kit project, it's real studio practice, paced for curious hands and growing confidence. Schedule School Pickup (included!): PS 84 and CE Montessori, at no extra charge Arbor Pickup (additional charge): we have a dedicated teacher pick-up your child and order an Uber/Lyft to get your artist from Arbor to the studio safely, so a small added fee of $65 per semester applies to cover costs. Program: 3pm- 6pm Flexible Pickup: collect your artist any time between 5-6pm. Please note, we follow the NYC DOE calendar, with the semester closing out in our Winter Showcase on December 22. 💛
