The Importance of STEAM in every child’s education

As we prepare for our Fall 2019 school art year, we are coming across many articles  regarding STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, ART & Math). The integration of the Arts in our current education system is so vital in children’s needs.


Here is an interesting read that further discusses STEAM.

Preserving the Early Excitement of STEAM


Art Adventures believes in it. Thats why we incorporate this in our after school art league programming.

JOIN US for our FALL 2019 season. We’re so excited to make art together with you!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG FOR ART IN THE PARK

What a beautiful week to make art in the park…Central Park! We made like an Impressionist and went en plein air for our 6-9’s Art Adventures.

Our challenge: to paint a landscape outside using a combination of 3 materials- pencil, craypas AND watercolor.

We practiced some tree drawing techniques: the Y technique- drawing branches in the shape of Y’s!

We learned different techniques in watercolor & wax resist with craypas

 

and background, mid-ground and foreground to capture a more realistic landscape
