STAY TUNED FOR NEXT CLASS!

5 Mondays, 3:30-4:30 (Grades 5-12) Beginning February 1st.

It’s Joke Time! Students learn the rules of comedy, joke writing and cartooning (both single frame and multi frame with recurring characters.) Each class we’ll work on three different projects. We’ll turn an idea into a joke, discuss our jokes (like in the Writers’ Room) and we’ll make a cartoon based on kids’ ideas which they will then caption. Mind-stretching and hilariously funny!

Born and raised in New York, Guy is known for his paintings, video installations, musicals & performances. Writing in the New York Times in 2013, Roberta Smith called Guy’s work a “ …tour de force that showcases his considerable talents for satire, stand up, endurance art and painting…”

New York may seem to have many of everything, but the one thing that it doesn’t have enough of is the most superb artists teaching real kids privately over zoom. One on one and fabulous.

This is so important as kids grow their skills and develop self-esteem. And, of course, a young artist’s portfolio is a lot of what determines whether they gain acceptance to the high school or college of their choice. These extraordinary private lessons by HiArt!’s team of nationally and internationally recognized artists will help your child develop as an artist, as a person and, when the time is right, build a portfolio that truly reflects their unique voice.
