NEW Renaissance Kids

En ri c h me nt p r og r a m

he Katonah Art Center is thrilled to announce our Renaissance Kids Enrichment Program for Pre-Schoolers & Kindergarteners. Our mission is to provide a hands-on learning environment where children can be free to explore the arts in a warm encouraging setting, fostering self-awareness and self-confidence. We have designed this very special program with two goals in mind. Our primary goal is to provide a diverse multi-arts environment designed to stimulate your kindergartner’s imagination, creativity and intellect. Our secondary goal is to immerse your child in a bi-lingual environment, introducing them to basic Spanish vocabulary as well as, conversational Spanish. Each day at the Renaissance Room will consist of a mix of story time, art, dance, or movement and music. Spanish will be incorporated into all of our day’s activities. Patti Hupp, founder of Miss Patti’s ArtSmart and ArtSmart TV and lead singer in the Feeling Groovy Band, will be our primary instructor. Ms. Patti will also have a co-teacher Evelyn Rodriguez, whose native language is Spanish and in charge of our language program. The Katonah Art Center has earned its reputation as the pre-eminent school of visual and performing arts in Northern Westchester. In addition to our newly renovated Renaissance Kids classrooms, our facility houses three art studios, an Apple computer lab, two pottery studios, a yoga studio and a ballet studio. The students in our Renaissance Kids program will spend time in each of our studios, taking full advantage of everything that KAC has to offer. We will be using the pottery studio, the art studio, the dance studio and the yoga studio every week. Transportation for Kindergarteners will be provided via Mother Hen Transportation, from Katonah Art Center to Increase Miller Elementary School. Students from KES can take the bus directly from their school to the art center where they will be met by Renaissance Kids staff. Maximum class size: 12 students. As part of KAC, Renaissance Kids will follow the Katonah-Lewisboro school schedule, including inclement weather delays and closings. Our school year begins Sept. 23 and ends June 19, 2014. Tuition will be billed in three payments.

Theresa Bates

Tai Chi means, “breath work”. Learn how to use your breath to reconnect the body with the world around us. Practicing Chi Gong exercises in conjunction with the breath will create a balanced flow of “chi.” This Eastern energy system, thousands of years old, is still widely used today. Modern science has proven chi gong to reduce stress, improve our balance and posture, build muscle, regenerate tissue and bone, circulate blood and most of all, create inner peace.

Chi Gong

Tai Chi means “grand supreme ultimate”. Connect the body and breath to the cosmos through this moving meditation. Build a foundation of strength, balance and calm with these beautiful postures. Using our breath, we will learn to reconnect with our “chi”, an eastern term used to describe the energy within us, proven to heal.

NEW! Fashion Mash-Up (teens/adults) We all have a few faded memories hanging in our closet that we haven’t worn in years, yet can’t bear to throw away; ripped jackets, bridal gowns and that pair of jeans that haven’t fit since you were 18. We try them on privately in our more sentimental moments and then quickly banish them back to the “hanger of no return”. However, with a little patience, minimal skill and a bit of vision you can transform these old and outgrown garments into new, improved pieces for the new, improved you. So cancel that trip to Goodwill. Let fashion designer Jaja show you how to turn your moth fodder into a gold mine with a pair of scissors and a dream. Mon
