During three 10-week sessions throughout the school year, students in grades 1–5 will explore and develop their artistic abilities in a fun, supportive, and nurturing environment. Children are encouraged to express their ideas, experiment creatively, and build confidence in their unique artistic voice.

Students will work with a wide variety of media—including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media—while learning foundational art concepts through hands-on projects. Inspiration will come from artists throughout history and from diverse cultures around the world, helping students discover new ways of seeing and creating.

Chrissy is a certified Vinyasa Yoga instructor with an additional specialization in youth and mindfulness. She has two beautiful babies who can often be found flowing beside her. Ever since she was a child herself, Chrissy has been drawn to a more spiritual and artistic way of life. She is greatly influenced by her grandmother, a lifelong montessori teacher and her great aunt, a Harvard professor and yoga guru. As a true nurturer, Chrissy has always been drawn to helping others. She believes it’s so important to start with our youth. If we can teach children the basic principles of yoga and how to calm their own central nervous systems we can directly benefit their lives and our communities as a whole. Chrissy created MinniYogi in 2020, a carefully curated yoga program for children and caregivers of all ages. The program includes flashcards which teach the child and caregiver the basics of yoga and meditation and how to apply them to everyday life. Chrissy incorporates the cards in all of her classes. Come join us for lots of silliness and learning! Because children learn best when having fun!

Get a behind the scenes peek of how the writing and art came together and make three different Northern Lights Landscapes using chalk pastel, watercolor, and acrylic paint squeguee art!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Chasing the Light

“Come out, come out, Show us your colors. Show us your lights..”

On a cold winter’s night, mother and daughter play a game of hide and seek with the Northern Lights. Yet there is so much else to see and hear in the moment . . . so much beauty to appreciate and remember—especially time spent together.

Gorgeously written and exquisitely illustrated, Chasing the Light is a book to treasure and an experience to share.

Amanda Davis is an award-winning writer, artist, innovator, and recipient of the Massachusetts Secondary Art Educator of the Year award. Through her work, she encourages others to tell their stories and use the power of the arts to understand themselves and others—lighting up the world along the way. When not creating, Amanda can often be found exploring nature with her family and chasing her rescue pups around their Marshfield home.
