Bilingual Saturday Art School

Bilingual Saturday Art School is an extracurricular visual arts program for children in grades Kindergarten and First Grade.

All classes meet from 9:30–10:30AM for 4-weeks at Children's Connect Museum and are taught in a bilingual setting.

Children in each session will explore a range of different art materials and may experience techniques such as drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture and will be exposed to a new Spanish vocabulary every week. We offer engaging age-appropriate projects that encourage children to both create and talk about art works.

At the end of the four weeks parents and friends will be inviting to the Artshow, when the students presents their unique and fun art project.

What are the learning curves?

Frequently asked questions

Our curriculum is thematic and rotates each session (for example: place, transformation, time). Each Saturday Art School teacher develops an age appropriate unit around the chosen big idea/theme for the session. No two classes do the same project or examine the session's theme in the same way. For example, with the idea of transformation, the kindergarten class might explore how changing our point of view transforms the world by pretending to be birds flying high above and creating land art than can only be seen from the sky, while the first grade class might identify and examine labels that affect and transform us by creating self-portraits that speak back to these labels.
