Classes for children 5-9
Art Explorers
5-8 years old
Sundays 9:30-11:30
waitlist only
This 2-hr class focuses on developing observational, technical, and fine motor skills. Students work with a variety of art mediums and craft materials while being encouraged to explore, experiment, and create. In this class we start with a project-based format: kids will be offered specific subjects and materials. This structure allows us to expose kids to techniques and subjects they may not have thought of before. At the same time, we will be gently introducing new students to our method: idea--sketch--material/technique--execution.
Because our approach relies on a gradual accumulation of skills and habits leading up to a student’s independent thinking, planning, managing materials etc., this class is offered in Full and Monthly sessions only.
Our young students are allowed a longer break (approx 20min) in the middle of our 2-hr class. This is a time for a light snack and play. There is plenty to do on our wooded playground, which encourages movement and socialization.
Supply is included in our rates.
​
Full Session (3 months) - $400*
Monthly Sessions $120-160

*Best value. Full Sessions cannot be prorated. Enrollment opens in September, December, and March. Read our POLICIES for more details
Young Artists
Saturdays 9:30 - 11:30 AM
​
7-9 years old
This class is the next step for our “rising” 7-year-old Art Explorers and a comfortable start for new students, ages 8-9. We will focus on learning the fundamental elements of design and composition by mastering various techniques and materials. Students are encouraged to make each project into their unique creation and will learn how to bring their ideas to life independently. They will have more freedom with art supplies, selecting what they want to work with, and gaining more responsibility for taking care of art materials. One of our goals is to learn not to rush through the steps and to understand the importance of details and quality over quantity. Most of our projects will take 2-4 weeks to complete. This class is offered in Full and Monthly sessions only.
Students will have a 15-20 min. snack/play break in the middle of this 2-hr class.
Supply is included in our rates.

Classes for children 9-12
Art Foundations
Sundays 12:30 - 2:30 PM
10-12 years old
waitlist only
Our learning process is largely based on developing student’s critical thinking and their ability to identify and correct mistakes. It's not as dramatic as one might think, but there ARE mistakes in art, and “hunting” them (with the teacher’s assistance) can be great fun as we learn more about this approach. Our students also learn to support one another by giving their peers positive feedback and encouragement. This 2 hr class is suitable for 10-12-year-old children and experienced 9-year-old Sirin students who can work independently. Students will work in small groups on individual projects and may choose the subject, genre, and medium that suits their area of interest. Emphasis is placed on creative exploration and producing quality art pieces.
This class is offered in Full (3 months) and monthly sessions (3-4 classes) formats. Space permitting a drop-in option is also available.
Supply is included in our rates.

Junior Portfolio
Saturdays 12:30-2:30 PM
11-13 years old
waitlist only
This class is comparable to Art Foundations in its goals but geared toward students with Sirin studio experience and more advanced new students seeking in-depth art instruction as they work on developing their art portfolios. Students considering PVA schools and art careers in the future will focus on developing the necessary observational drawing skills required for auditions and portfolio presentations.
This class is offered in Full (3 months) and Monthly sessions (3-4 classes) formats. Space permitting a drop-in option is also available.

Portfolio Prep
Fridays 5:00-7:00 PM
13+ years old
This class is geared toward busy pre-teen and teenage students seeking in-depth art instruction and to develop their art skills. We welcome students pursuing different goals: those working on pieces for their portfolios and the teens who are looking for quality social time while enjoying one of their passions. Some students will focus on developing the necessary observational drawing skills required for auditions and portfolio presentations others might enjoy working on their area of interest or experimenting with a new medium or technique. This class is also a good starting point for students who are interested in joining our Junior Portfolio or Portfolio Prep groups.
This class is offered in Full (3 months) and monthly sessions (3-4 classes) formats. Space permitting a drop-in option is also available.

You may choose your own project or inspiration, and we will supply quality materials and guidance. Everyone in the class will be getting individual attention and advice. You will find our company easy, non-judgmental, and fun. Please, contact us prior to registering for this class to discuss your goals and expectations.

MUSHROOM HOUSE
workshop for students 4 +
Rescheduled!
Mushrooms are like magical little umbrellas that grow all over the world! They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors; from tiny ones you might find in the grass to big ones that look like fairy homes. Some mushrooms even glow in the dark or sparkle in the sunlight! What kind of mushroom house would you build? How many rooms? Would you have a moss garden or a waterslide? Or maybe it would have a nice cozy balcony for an ice cream breakfast? Let’s get our imagination and art supply ready and try to open a secret door to a magical world just waiting to be discovered! We have a fun multimedia project in mind, which involves painting with acrylics, sculpting, and gluing. It is challenging enough for kids 5+ and quite easy for creative adults who wish to participate.
Workshop length – 2.5 hours with breaks
Cost – $45
*Discounted rate for current Sirin students – $40
*Family discount available
