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. 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).
