Class Description
Creative, energizing, and culturally enriching, New York City has it all! Send your children on an immersive journey to iconic art museums, like MoMA, and cutting-edge art galleries in Lower Manhattan. On our field trips children will have the opportunity to share their observations, make authentic connections with the artwork, and establish personal connections with each other. Each trip will be accompanied by an art class the following week at Togetherhood where children will be introduced to the fundamental elements of art-making and artistic process.
From paper collage to clay vessels, children will engage with a variety of materials inspired by the style and techniques of emerging and established artists. We will take a deep dive into paper collage with Henri Matisse and his swimming pool, hop on a rollercoaster of color and texture with contemporary artist Masaki Kawai, and design our own habitats after we traverse the High Line. Come travel the world with us through artwork and imagination right here in NYC!

Instructor's reviews
My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.
Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
