About this Event
Sky Village NYC After School Arts Program is a unique opportunity for children 5 to 8 years old to take part in weekly arts and cooking classes at Sky Village NYC.
Inspired by the "Yin Yang Theory" in Chinese Philosophy, we believe that greater physical, mental and emotional balance can be achieved through the practice of various art forms, proper nutrition and meditation. Our children's program at our 29th St. location will largely focus on visual arts. We will also engage in a daily 10 minute "mind break" or meditation to help our students calm their nervous systems and steady their focus. Children should demonstrate an aptitude for drawing and painting to participate in this program. Art methods that we will focus on include Origami, mosaic tiling/perler beading, print making, 3D drawing, painting and sewing.
We feel confident with our regular after school routine your child will adopt systems for long lasting happiness and wellbeing.
OUR PROGRAM
If your child is under the age of 10 years old we will arrange for one of our staff to pick your child up from school and walk directly to Sky Village NYC (29th St.) for the afterschool program. On Fridays students will enjoy Art for Wellness with Pratt Institute graduate Frankie Bartolomie. Thursdays now include a 45 minutes of cooking class with nutritional information to emphasis our focus on health and wellness at Sky Village NYC. A sample of our weekly schedule is listed below.
