Kids’ Art Tour Classes
Rebecca’s classes pair exciting details of art history with the fun of art creation that will not only educate but also help your child develop a love for the world of art.
Each class is designed to engage your child in different learning modalities in multiple ways of experiencing art by exploring our emotions, observing and analyzing art, describing artworks verbally and in writing, playing games and more. Class topics will cover art movements, the lives and contributions of specific artists, art technique and principles, a look into the art world past and present and students will output what they’ve learned in a variety of mediums.
April - May
Shading & Value
Thursdays • 6-weeks
April 24th - May 29th

Students will bring their drawings to life by learning how to shade and judge value properly, tackle difficult subjects such as glass and fabric as well as how to simplify and handle patterns found on objects and fabric.
Portrait Mysteries
Fridays • 6-weeks
April 25th - May 30th
Kids 7+ • Horseheads, NY
Why is the Mona Lisa so famous? What does all of the symbolism in The Arnolfini Portrait mean? Is the Salvator Mundi really a long lost Da Vinci painting?

June
Color Confidence
Thursdays • 4-weeks
June 5th - 26th
Age 9 to Teens • Horseheads, NY
Color is such a challenging part of creating art. How can you quickly and confidently mix the color of paint you’re seeing in your still life without it turning into mud? What’s the best way to neutralize red? What do I add to make my blues darker? By learning how their paints react to one another in this class, your child will begin to wield their paint brush more confidently and breathe more life into their paintings with accurate and pure color.
Glass Artists
Fridays • 4-weeks
June 6th - 27th
Kids 7+ • Horseheads, NY
From Chihuly’s glass sculptures to Frank Lloyd Wright’s bubble windows, your kids will fall in love with glass art as we cover artists, their techniques and contributions to the art world. We’ll simulate glass art as your child creates their own versions of each artist’s style.
