We have so much fun teaching our students about the joy in learning the fundamentals of art-making with developmentally appropriate and inspirational art projects. We explore different materials and techniques as students explore the world of art, and they gain more confidence as they hone their skills. Please read about our Covid procedure below.

Dates: There is NO CLASS on November 22nd for Thanksgiving break.

Details:

• For those little makers: Time to get crafty! This class is for any child who loves arts and crafts. Students will learn the elements of design as we focus on building foundational skills.
• Learning techniques: Students will be able to experiment with all kinds of techniques in different mediums.
• Developing skills: Every project will help develop the students’ artistic ability and fine motor skills as they become more familiar with the tools, materials, and with the art-making process.
• Creative encouragement: Students are encouraged to be creative and use their imagination.
• Exploring themes: Each project will introduce a new theme where the students will explore the subject matter and the associated vocabulary.
• No repeated projects: Our art projects are never duplicated. Every semester, we hope to build and reinforce the exposure to different materials, techniques and processes. We encourage kids to continue taking the class in their age range so that they may acquire a confidant approach and strong artistic foundation.
• Take this artistic journey with us!

COVID-19 Information:

The safety of our students and of the community at large is our number one priority. Therefore, we have instituted the following procedures for our in-person classes at Artissima:

-Parents/guardians of the student will sign a Covid-19 Declaration Form, Release & Questionnaire.

-By signing the Declaration Form, parents/guardians agree to take the temperature of the student before coming to class. The student’s arrival at class indicates that the student’s temperature is below 100.4 F.

We will…

• Wash/Sanitize our hands before and after each session.
• Take his or her temperature before coming to class to ensure that it is below 100.4F.
• Instructors will cancel the class if they have any symptoms related to Covid-19.
• Clean/Disinfect frequently touched surfaces and the bathroom before and after class.
• Provide sanitizers at the entrance and automatic soap dispensers and automatic paper towels for the students to use to avoid contamination.
• All students will receive individual materials for each project. There will be no sharing of materials.

We are requesting that each of our students, please…

• Aprons: Bring aprons or wear clothing appropriate for a mess. Artissima Studio will not be providing aprons during this uncertain time.
• Take your Temperature: Parent/Guardian will take child’s temperature at home before entering the premises to ensure that it is below 100.4 F. If you arrive at class, it is assumed that you have taken your temperature.
• Face Masks: Masks will be required for the fall semester. We are following the Fox Chapel school district and CDC guidelines. 
• Hand Sanitizers: When entering and exiting the studio, use the hand sanitizer at the studio.
• Using the Bathroom & Sink: Only one student at a time washes his or her hands or goes to the bathroom. There will be no “lines” to use the sink or the bathroom. Students will be called one by one.
• Water: Carry his or her own bottle for drinking water (if necessary) and it will be placed at his or her seat.
• Personal Items: Do not bring any personal items unless there is a medical necessity. Any personal items cleared to stay in the studio must be kept in a plastic bag.
• Guests: No parents, guardians or other patrons are allowed to stay in the studio during the class.
• Drop Off: Students will enter the studio one at a time for drop off.
• Pick Up: One student can exit at a time for pick up. The parent should not enter the studio—please stand in front of the door, and the student will come out to meet you.

Students will be asked to agree to follow procedures outlined above each week to ensure the safety of all parties.

We will do our best to protect all students, and we feel confident that the students will have an enjoyable, didactic and creative experience even with the extra measures put in place to guarantee the safety of everyone.
