About this event

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).

Greek Epics: The Iliad and the Odyssey | Studio B: Ages 5-7

Mon, Aug 31 · 9:00 AM

Goose Grease House | Studio B · Southside

Depending on which craft we go for, we will either study Homer’s Illiad and/or Odyssey. In case we focus on the Iliad, we will be making a miniature Trojan horse. In case we focus on the Odyssey , we will be making projects based on Odysseus’ journey (a cyclops, a siren, etc.) It could also be a combination of both epic poems, in which case we will combine projects to form one whole Greek epic picture! We teach history through art! Our Studio B is home to our youngest and first-time Goose Greasers, who will learn the basic building blocks of art-making and our Goose Grease style. Our pedagogical approach is to immerse our students in our topic of study while creating, taking notes, and having inspiring conversation. **Please note: all camps will go up to $650 on March 16th**

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Circa 1870, our studies will begin by addressing how oil replaced coal as the internal combustion engine was developed, leading humanity and the use of machines into WWI. 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.

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

Mon, Sep 14 · 3:00 PM

Goose Grease House | Studio B · Southside

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.
