Service Description

Art Lab 4 is for children ages 10+ who are increasingly seeking to refine their technique of art making and meaning making, yet enjoy the open ended nature of the Art Lab class format and the opportunity to work with a wide range of media independently. The eight “studio habits of mind” (Develop Craft, Engage & Persist, Envision, Express, Observe, Reflect, Stretch & Explore, Understand Art Worlds) describe the thinking that teachers continue to encourage with this age group. Although process and exploration are honored as essential practices involved in creativity, the students are encouraged to persevere and complete individual projects. Payment Policy: There are nine sessions in the school year. Sessions last 4 weeks, with no class during the following weeks: Thanksgiving, Winter Break and Spring Break. You may join the class mid session and the next session will be prorated. You automatically keep your spot for the year once you enroll and payment is due monthly. Please give notice by the 25th of the month if you need to disenroll. A $5 discount is given for payments made in cash or check at the studio. A 10% discount is available for multiple children enrolling in classes or if you are enrolling a single child in multiple classes- please contact the studio for this option so that you are given an invoice with this discount. No credits are given for missed classes, however, you may attend another class that is age appropriate as a makeup. If the instructor has to cancel class due to personal reasons or due to weather emergencies, they will contact you regarding a make-up day option.
