The recipe for ART EXPERIMENT is: mix equal parts play, fresh air, natural and found ingredients, plus fun = art experiment. Our projects: sculpture, drawing, sketch books, collage, nature/science/art experiments, and art happenings find inspiration in art traditions such as native american culture, outsider art, and use artists of today and from previous cultures as inspiration.
We make stuff together as a group and individually. Most of all we make art work to have fun making stuff and to be as creative as we can be. We use trees, branches, words, sticks, leaves, acorns, seeds, paint, string, fabric, thread, printmaking, clay, build imaginary cities, make volcanos and shadow drawings.Magdalen Pierrakos is an artist who studied at Parsons and the San Francisco Art Institute and loves art by kids and being a teacher. Magdalen is organizing a public exhibition of the amazing art work of the young artists in her P.S. 107 Afterschool classes. |

Get Styled was created by Malani Smith. Malani has been an employee at PS107 since 2018, and an employee of PSACC shortly after. “I’ve always enjoyed doing hair. I learned how to style and braid my little sisters’ hair when I was just 11 years old. I never had an older sister to help me with my hair, so I made sure I taught myself how to do hair so my sister’s hair would always be done. I worked in a hair salon for a couple of years where I was able to meet several clients and able to practice my talents. I realized I enjoyed working with children more. I’m going to mesh my two talents together in this fun class.” |

In this program, children will explore various needle arts, including, but not
limited to, knitting crochet, loom knitting, finger knitting and weaving and needlepoint. Through exploration, we can determine the craft/crafts that are best suited for each child. Needle arts use both sides of the brain and help develop logic, creativity, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and focus. Due to the repetitive motion of needle arts they are calming and meditative. Like any new repetitive motor skill (writing, playing the piano) mastery of the needle arts is achieved by practice. Daily practice of at least 20 minutes per day is ideal; however, mastery and other benefits can be achieved with as little as 20 minutes, three times per week. During the semester the children will work on individual projects and a least on group project. First Grade: First graders will learn finger knitting, arm knitting and finger crochet with each skill culminating in a finished project. The children will also complete seasonal projects for Christmas, Hanukkah and Valentine’s Day, etc. while learning weaving, needle point and basic embroidery. Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Grades: Returning students and those with previous experience with needle arts will advance to more complex needle knitting, crochet and needlepoint projects. New students will start with finger knitting and arm knitting and progress to basic needle knitting. All students will complete individual projects and one group project. |
|
In the fun class children will learn Lacrosse basics, starting with skills in the first session and moving into playing full games by the Spring session.

Magic with Liam Malanaphy emphasizes cultivating a performance grounded in the wonder one feels when first seeing an amazing trick performed. The trick itself should eventually become a vehicle for sharing that feeling. In sharing magic performance with young people, one of the most fundamental things for them to understand is the enormous difference between knowing how a trick is done, and knowing how to do a trick. More than any specific tricks or talents, this class will seek to teach performance.

We believe that when children know what makes them happy, and feel safe and supported to be themselves, they can achieve anything they put their mind to. Focusing on themes such as self-love, self-acceptance, self-esteem, gross motor skills, mindfulness, balance, and strength, the YOMA Method wants to help all children become the best versions of themselves while fostering greater social-emotional understanding, empathy, and compassion.
