After School Art
A Reggio Emilia-Inspired Art Program
In our small, nurturing classes students will receive individualized, digital-free guidance that
fosters self-expression, reflection, and creative problem solving. Inspired by the Reggio
Emilia approach, our open-ended, hands-on art activities prioritize exploration over
perfection. Children are encouraged to think and work like artists while building self-
confidence, community, and lasting friendships.
Each month, Allison will introduce new cross-curricular themes that integrate math,
science, social studies and literacy through the arts. Students will engage in
meaningful process-based art-making, including:
-
Drawing, painting & collage
-
Sculpture (including beading & kiln-fired clay)
-
Textile arts (including sewing, natural dyeing & weaving)
-
Bookmaking & printmaking
And more — all using high-quality art materials
The creative process is valued over the final product and activities are tailored to meet
each child where they are. With a strong focus on social-emotional learning (SEL), this
program encourages collaboration, reflection, and joyful discovery.
