Art classes for kids

HASBROUCK, NY — The Old Stone House of Hasbrouck offers summer classes in a range of techniques and styles for youngsters five and older. Courses include all needed materials. The first class is called, “Color! Color! Color!” Led by Alana Sherman, it teaches about color through several art experiments and includes creating an original work. Fill-in-the-color pictures are available for students who prefer that approach. It takes place on Thursday, July 16, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., and costs $5 per child. “OOOH!! Scissors, Paper, Glue” is a “Picture Pie” workshop that has kids divide a circle, like slices of a pie, to make pictures of all kinds of objects. They’ll cut triangles—and lots of other shapes—from paper and put the pieces together to create birds, fish, flowers and animals. It takes place on Thursday, July 30 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and costs $5 per child. “Let’s Make Picture Books” is led by picture book artist Helena Clare Pittman, who will help kids make alphabet stories, counting stories and simple tall tales about the things that happen in their lives. Using folded paper, pencils and markers, they’ll gain artistic inspiration as Pittman reads from her own books, and the work of other picture book artists, and shows them techniques for making their own personal picture books. It takes place on Friday, August 7, at 1 p.m., and costs $10 per child.
