SUMMER PROGRAM - L’ATELIER
L’Atelier is a summer program for children hosted at the Muriel GuÉpin Gallery.
>Download Registration Form
Our program enriches a child's knowledge of art while exploring a wide variety of materials. Our ambition is to develop children’s creativity and to have them think of themselves as young artists. Children are given the freedom to explore, to trust their impulses and admire the beauty of their expression. Children are encouraged to learn how their feelings and thoughts can be brought to life in their artwork. In this way, their artwork becomes the story of their emerging self and development, a document of that particular moment, and a treasured keepsake.
The summer program at L’Atelier is a hands-on art program where children will be working with art educators who are also professional artists. Our program is designed so that children can explore a broad range of art making activities. While each weekly session will have one artist teacher, L’Atelier will on occasion invite different artists guests to teach the children a specific medium from painting, to print making, photography, street art graffiti, sculpture or drama. Our talented artists will guide the children in open-ended projects that allow for both creative expression and real art techniques.
Classes maintain a minimum teacher-student ratio of one to twelve and are taught by art educators who are also professional artists.
> Each session is limited to 12 children with age from 6 1/2– 10 years old.
> Sessions are from 9:30 am – 12 pm, Monday to Friday.
> Weekly fee is $325, with a $25 registration fee for new students.
Space is limited so register soon.
Not only are we going to look at New York Artists but we are going to learn why New York was the center of the Art World for many years. In this class we will create pieces that represent our New York Pride.
Session II: July 5 – July 9: The Art of PortraitsIn this class children will learn how to create their own portraits. They will learn techniques on drawing from life and basics of anatomy. Looking at various historical and contemporary artists for inspiration, your young artists will find new ways of creating their portraits.
Session III: July 12 – July 16: Animal DynastyThis class will be an adventure into the world of animals. We will use animals as inspiration for prints, patterns and portraits. We will look at animals in art from illustrations in books to work done on canvas.
Session IV: August 2 - August 6: Art with CharacterIn this class we are going to look at how symbols and text are used in art. Looking at work from Dadaism to today we will explore everything from collage to creating billboards.
Session V: August 9 – August 13: Water WorksThis week will be filled with projects and activities based on the theme of 'water'. In the class we will explore various mediums from watercolor to ink. We will look at what floats, fly's over and lives in the ocean, seas and rivers. For inspiration we will look at work created by the Hudson River painters, Cezanne and other various artists.
Session VI: August 16 – August 20: Art StarsThis week we will look at major art stars including Andy Warhol, Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Damien Hirst and Murakami.
