We are SO excited to be offering our arts-based after-school program in the heart of Downtown Boulder. We've been running an iteration of this program in NYC since the very beginning of Scribble almost 15 years ago! Here's some information about that program. Our goal with the after-school clubhouse has always been to create a safe, welcoming, and creative space for young artists to spend their time outside of school. With our small class size, this group very quickly becomes a familial and supportive community of artists exploring new materials and methods together. 

At our Boulder location, each afternoon, we'll pick up students from Whittier Elementary and walk them to the studio. Then, we'll enjoy a healthy snack and open play (we take every opportunity to be outside during this time so we'll either be at the park or by the creek right next to our space, if weather permits). At 4:00pm, we'll settle back into the studio for an art class (the schedule of classes is listed below).

Engaging in one medium throughout an entire year offers our young artists an incredible opportunity to build upon skills and deeply explore artistic possibilities. Part of our programming includes a holiday market in December, film festival in March and an art show in May, all produced by and featuring the work of our students. All proceeds sponsor scholarships at our studio.

CLASS SCHEDULE

MON: Game + Toy Design SIGN UP

We'll create our own illustrated board games, deck of cards, Pokémon or game card decks, a sculptural chess set, and a set of wind up toys.

TUE: Sculpture SIGN UP

We'll explore both abstract and representational sculpture through fiber arts, mixed media building and paper mâché. We'll sew our own stuffies, construct moving mobiles, design and create a fully furnished doll house, and more!

WED: Graphic Novels SIGN UP

We'll explore the art of creating graphic novels through inventing our own characters and bringing them to life in our own illustrated comics, painted panels and fully bound books.

THU: Large-Scale Painting SIGN UP

We'll experiment with color, line, and shape through the use of various water-based paints and all on a large scale! We'll complete both abstract and representational paintings focusing on the themes of abstraction, portraiture, landscape and surrealism.

FRI: Lego Robotics with Namastem SIGN UP

We're so excited to be partnering with Namastem next fall to offer this class. Using the Lego SPIKE™ Essential system, kids will work in teams to build and program a robot and build other innovative systems. They will be given interactive challenges and learn through play.
