Primary Classes (Grades k-2)
Our Two Unique Primary Programs
SCROLL DOWN TO REGISTER
Studio E offers two unique programs for our "Primary level" students. who are in grades K-2. Mixed Media, which meets in our drawing/painting classroom, covers 2D projects, while Ceramics, which meets in our ceramics/pottery classroom covers 3D. Students must commit to a full seven week session of each program, but may switch to the other program in a later session. Many students choose to come to two classes per week, doing mixed media in one class, and ceramics in the other! Both are fantastic well rounded programs that are taught by NYS Certified Art Teachers, or instructors with advanced degrees in their field of art.
Childen's Ceramics
$175/7 week session
In this class, students will explore hand building techniques using natural Earth clay. (Please note, students WILL NOT use the pottery wheels in this course as this is reserved for older students.) Students will have a different guided featured project from week to week, which will offer room for many options and creativity within the project. The last classes of the session will be reserved for glazing and painting and you will receive a call later on when your student's box of projects from the full course is ready for pick up. (Students will not bring home projects from week to week but will pick up their full box of finished projects later on.) The structure of this course encourages perseverance, project planning and creativity. All of the foundational techniques in hand building will be covered, including slab rolling, coil rolling, score/slipping, trimming, pinching, wedging, glazing, painting and much more. Students will learn about the kiln firing process and gain appreciation for the art of working with clay. Students will be taught how to clean their stations and tools thoroughly and care for their supplies. These are the prerequisite skills for throwing on a high powered pottery wheel, which will be introduced in the secondary level classes which begin in grade 3.
Children's Mixed Media
$175/7 week session
In each 90 minute class, students will create a guided project along with the teacher, finishing one project per class. Projects will each encompass the use of multiple mediums, and students will be given space for experimentation and creativity as they explore using and mixing different mediums. Materials will be different every week and will include found objects (cardboard, buttons, bottle caps, etc), tempera paint, watercolor, tempera paint sticks, oil pastels, chalk pastels, markers, colored pencils, and much more. Students will be supported in strengthening skills in drawing, cutting on a line, mixing colors, assembling, collage, painting, blending and more. Projects will differ from week to week and will not be repeated within sessions. Famous artists, art movements and art history will be incorporated into projects. This class is perfect for allowing your young student to develop their artistic voice, and will likewise increase their confidence in and appreciation of art.

COVID 19 Response
To keep our students and families safe, we have implemented the following new procedures in our Primary level classes:
Limited attendance. All classes are limited to half attendance.
New entry procedures:
Students will line up outside at the start of class and will be let in one at a time The student's temperature will be taken before being permitted to enter (must be under 100). Students will wear masks outside while lined up and through our lobby as they are escorted in. Students must use hand sanitizer or wash up before entering the classroom. Clean aprons will be provided for each student. Once seated, students will have the option of removing their masks. The teacher will wear a mask if they need to get within 6' of any student. Students will wash up again when exiting our facility.
Please note, parent's must drop off at door. Door will be locked between students during check in time. All registration must be done online prior to the start of class. Please keep all communication at the door limited to help keep our check in process speedy and smooth. If you need to communicate with us, please do so by emailing Michelle at sstylianou50@yahoo.com or calling us at 631-744-4001 and leaving a message.
Exit procedures:
Class times are now staggered so that fewer people will be entering/exiting at one time. At exit time, only one child/parent group will leave the space at a time. You will need to sanitize again on your way out.
No wandering through the studio. Students must remain at their table throughout the duration of the 90 minute class. If they need to use the bathroom during class, they will be escorted into the office by our secretary, who will sanitize the bathroom immediately after.
Supplies: Many students have expressed that they are happy to bring their own. While that is a great idea, we use many different and varying supplies each week in our elementary arts classes, as a major goal is introducing students to a wide variety of materials. With that in mind, having students bring their own supplies would force families to have to purchase a huge and expensive list of supplies. To keep things simple, we will continue to provide all supplies for classes. We have implemented a "caddy system." Each table will have a personal caddy filled with the week's supplies. This caddy and it's contents will be sanitized thoroughly before and after each class.
Cleaning Logs:
We are now required by New York State to keep daily cleaning logs. During your classes, you will see supplies and areas continually being cleaned down to ensure the most sanitary environment possible for our students.
Feeling sick? Please stay home for the week and take advantage of our very flexible make up policy. If we suspect that you or your your student may be experiencing any signs of sickness, we will kindly ask you to leave our space (even if your temperature reads as normal.) Please understand that we must be vigilant in these unusual circumstances.
Ring System/ Locked Doors
During our class times, our doors will remain locked. Outside people will not be permitted to enter our space for any reason. All registration will occur online to reduce the number of people in our office at a time. We will be offering virtual tours only and all communication will be done virtually or over the phone.
