AIAVAP’s After-School classes are designed to expose children to age appropriate fine art concepts, and skills and a variety of exciting materials that working artists use in their art. AIAVAP teaches art that empowers children to communicate effectively through the foundations of drawing and painting! In these fine art classes, students develop skills in the foundations of drawing and painting through explorations of line, shape and color. All faculty in AIAVAP are highly qualified with significant experience training in Fine Arts. Angela Tripi-Weiss, cited as the best art program developer in Susan Manzell's book, "How To Get your Child an Excellent Education in NYC", is a three time Blackboard award winning artist, educator, teacher trainer and curriculum/program developer. She leads Arts in Action VAP, with a focus on the development of children’s voices through fine arts. Her unique, progressive fine arts curriculum for Arts in Action Visual Art Program teaches young art students an age-appropriate visual art language that is sequentially structured and skills based.
