Have the most creative summer experience
of your children’s life. Visit Art Smart Academy, where
“Creativity is Unlimited”. They offer programs
for everyone, whether you are 3 years old or 16. If you have
never taken an art class before, or if you’re a serious
artist, then they have a place for you. Lessons include line,
shape, color, value, texture, form and space. Art Smart Academy
has small classes, private lessons, special education classes
and advanced level classes. Art Smart Academy prides itself
on the ability to impact the process of creating “art”
upon each student. The students love sketching, drawing, painting,
watercoloring, clay molding, designing jewelry, creating themed-projects,
doing chalk/oil pastels, making pop art, stamping and collaging,
plus much more. Each student is encouraged to produce his
or her own interpretation of the art lesson. This approach
promotes artistic creativity and builds self esteem in each
student. Art, in short, is extremely important to a child’s
development and can help him/her become a more imaginative
and responsive adult. They have added printmaking, plaster
crafts, jewelry design and “free studio/expression time”
into the summer program. This “free studio/expression
time” provides an opportunity for the young artists
to revisit their favorite medium or previous projects. Math/Science
tutoring by an Ivy League graduate has been added to the program
offerings. They also host the best birthday parties and special
event functions for groups such as Girl/Boy Scouts, religious
organizations and sporting leagues. Please visit Art Smart
Academy at 53 Prospect Place, Hillsdale, NJ 07642. Their studio’s
main number is (201)666-8252.
