Art from the Caribbean and Latin America (grades K-2) | Thursday, Fall 2026

About this event

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Focusing on the Caribbean’s rich history, students will dive into the different artistic traditions that make up the regions’ multiple cultures. We will begin by focusing on native Caribbean sculptures to then addressing the Spanish arrival in the 15th century. We will take a look at the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration with the increasing impact of African influences and the emergence of Afro-Caribbean culture. We will approach the work of modern artists such as Carmen Herrera and perhaps create a family friendly, Wilfredo Lam inspired project. 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).
