Next session of Art in Motion: April-June

Well, hopefully Spring really is right around the corner!  We have been having a great time exploring new art materials, learning new dances and songs, and making new friends.  I am reminded during Art in Motion classes of this quote by Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the Reggio-Emilia schools in Italy: "Nothing without joy."  There is such joy in making and moving, and I am so happy to be a part of the joy that is present when children and parents come together in a creative space.

The next session runs for seven weeks  and the cost is $80.  If you can't commit to a full session, drop-in classes are an option when space is available.  Drop-in classes are $12/child.

All classes are held at Bluebird Studios in New Bedford.  Classes are at 10:30am and last about an hour.

The dates for the sessions are:

Tuesdays: April 29, May 6, 13, 20, 27, June 3, 10

Wednesdays: April 30, May 7, 14, 21, 28, June 4, 11

Thursdays: May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, June 5, 12

Fridays: May 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, June 6, 13

You can contact me at decemberbluebird@gmail.com and let me know what session you are interested in taking.  Please feel free to pass this information on to a friend!

What is Art in Motion?

First and most importantly, Art in Motion is fun!  We play, and play is truly the work of the young child.  The classes are led by live music, played mostly on guitar, and sometimes on the banjo or accordion.  The songs are lively, and are all interactive.  Parents and little ones are up and down jumping, hopping, dancing, freezing, talking, laughing, singing loudly, and singing low; there is always movement, always rhythm.  We finish each class with an open-ended, process oriented art project.  These projects are designed to inspire little minds and hands, giving children the opportunity to explore paint, glue, sand, play dough, water, color, light, texture...the joy is in the experimentation.
