Pedagogy
Our inquiry-based approach helps students of all ages learn to use the artistic process—focusing on exploration, discovery and skill building across a variety of art media.
Founded in 1977 to develop and nurture visual arts experiences to New York City youth, this website is a place for us to share our resources, lesson plans and learnings beyond New York.
I wanted to share what an amazing this experience has been. I really learned how to plan a unit and break down the concepts. I loved the visual aides, and the opportunity to watch my students blossom and flourish — which has been the best perk of all, not to mention the bonding with them.
