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

About this event

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. 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).
