OuR (WORKING) PHILOSOPHYSince 1927, the Creative Workshop has helped children grow as artists and as well-rounded human beings. Our classes teach the technical skills of drawing, painting, ceramics and jewelry making while encouraging kids to recognize their natural talents and creative strengths. Our instructors are friendly and committed to starting children in the habits of drawing, collaborat-ing and solving problems with innovative solutions.

Our approach to art classes for children is to keep class sizes small and continuously challenge kids to try new materials and learn traditional methods of art and craft. While most classes go into the Gallery at least once a session, classes specifically related to the collection will fre-quently draw, look and discuss art.

Classes are listed by age grouping and subject matter. Some are shorter to accommodate children’s busy lives (it IS possible to draw cartoons and play baseball, though not at the same time)! Call us and we can help you find the right class for your child.

This spring the Memorial Art Gallery presents a exhibition of work by Maira Kalman, an illustra-tor and cartoonist whose work often graces The New Yorker. This course offers anyone interested in illustration and cartooning a sneak peek into how ideas are illustrated and the imagination is unleashed.

during the first four weeks, you’ll work with John Kastner to develop your cartoony characters and personal style. during the second four weeks, McNevin Hayes helps you move to illustrated narrative and interpretation of con-cepts. Both instructors will visit the Gallery for inspiration, particularly the Kalman show. Either half of this course may be taken as a four-week class; just ask us! At the end of either (or both), you’ll have new understandings of how a drawn line can make us laugh, smile and think.
