Q&A’s about art classes with Studio 4 Art and Do Art studios
What art the protocols due to COVID?
Masks must be worn, artists will have their own workstation with their own sterilized art tools and hand washing will be frequent. When entering class we will have hand sanitizer and we will use it again upon leaving. If anyone in your household is ill we require your child to stay home. It takes us all to be cautious for our studios to remain open.
How do you have classes for 8-year-olds and 13 your olds together?
Our curriculum is open-ended and child-initiated. Because our teaching begins with art technique and skill-building it empowers our students to open their minds to creating what they want using the skills they just learned. If we are discussing animals, for example, we talk about proportion, how to draw or paint fur, hair, or scales, how to look at the shape, then when it comes time to design, what each child chooses to draw is up to them. We are then there to answer any questions and brainstorm ways to have a successful (to them) artwork.
What is different about your class vs. art class at school?
Studio 4 Art's and Do Art Studio’s mission is to give children a voice through art-making. No other curriculum allows a child to explore, from the point of the unknown to a point of completion, learning art techniques while working through mistakes and problem solving, resulting in higher self-confidence, awareness, and leadership skills. Our school system, if your school is fortunate enough to have an art class, is built for children to create artwork that can be evaluated taking away the uniqueness art is able to give a child, empowerment over their passions and what is important to them. We are able to hold space for both, art education and individual work.
Studio 4 Art is unique in its teaching approach to all art projects and introduction to art materials. Our curriculum is progressive, child-initiated, and thought-provoking. Studio 4 Art creates and writes all curriculum, training our teachers in our philosophies and procedures. How to teach the whole child and honor each as the individuals they are is a pretty special way of teaching. We provide growth in children through honoring ideas, executing dream designs, guidance through questions to engage problem-solving, build creative thought processes through mistake-making, and celebrate collaboration.
My child doesn’t really know much about art, will they feel overwhelmed?
Our art classes are taught to scaffold the learning of our students. We will meet a child at their level and have the ability to then work together to accomplish a work of art that they are proud of. We don’t ever compare work from one camper to another, we know every child comes with their own set of knowledge, our goal is to elevate and celebrate them from where they are.
What techniques will my child learn?
With every week we want your child to walk out of our art classes with art knowledge in technique, vocabulary, and history. Techniques will include fine art and contemporary applications. We experiment and learn about drawing skills and painting skills.
Does the paint wash out of clothes?
Most generally, no. We are a fine art studio and want our students and campers to experience true and traditional art materials, we know from experience it makes a big difference in their excitement when they see how vibrant and rich colors are and how the consistency in fine art materials differ. Please wear art clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. We do have aprons but they don’t always cover.
