Spring 2020 Afterschool:
FROM POTTERY TO POSSIBILITY
This spring, join the Artshack Youth Programs team for an exploration of ourselves, our role in the world, and our vision for the future.

Using culturally responsive pedagogy and a critical lens, we will look at four themes using primarily ceramics, along with select mixed media such as drawing, printmaking, painting, and more. Our four themes are:

POTTERY
Who made the first pottery?
What drove the first potters to create with clay?
How did pottery play a part in social and technological innovation?
How are people from all over the world connected through the collective history of ceramics?
What tools and techniques do I need to express myself through clay?

PEOPLE
Why do artists depict people?
How do portraits communicate power?
What can I learn about myself through portraiture?
What can I learn about others through portraiture?

PLACES
What makes a good home?
What makes a good neighbor?
What is special about where we live?
What is my place in my community?
What can we build together?

POSSIBILITIES
What do you want to see in the world?
How will you be a part of shaping the future?
How do artists and movements use art to inspire social change?
In the future, what will be allowed to grow?

We follow the public school calendar, so when public schools are out, there is no Artshack after school.

This is how we do it:
12:45: Pickup from Compass Charter
1:30 - 1:40 : Unwind with sketching and stories while enjoying a delicious snack of pretzels and animal crackers (with the occasional special treat)
1:40- 2:45: Over an hour of enriching arts education in a community setting, taught with care by working artists
2:45- 3:00: Group dancing and Clean Up
3:00 Dismissal

Tuition Includes:
2 makeup classes (for use with Kids on the Wheel (drop off, value $80), Saturdays from 10-12)
All materials, firing fees, and snacks
Inclusion in the end of year exhibition of art made by kids
School Pickup:
Depending on the dismissal time at Compass, we arrive at Artshack between 1- 1:30pm. We offer supervised drawing and fun between pick up and the start of class.


Notes:

We follow the public school calendar. This means that when public schools are out, there is no Artshack Class.

Pick up is at 3:00 PM. If you are continuously late for pickup (more than 3 times) we will charge your card a late fee of $40 per late day.
We take photos and sometimes post them to our social media outlets. If you do NOT want your child to be photographed, please let us know.
