Mission:
Saturday Arts Lab (SAL) at SUNY New Paltz is a teaching and learning studio lab where children (ages 5-11) in grades K-6 engage in exploring art and ideas through a variety of art experiences. All classes are taught by advanced art education preservice teachers and are supervised by experienced SUNY New Paltz Art Education faculty.
Description:
In Saturday Arts Lab, young people follow their curiosity to explore ideas, make discoveries, and create meaningful art! SAL artists are placed in classes with similar-age peers and are supported in their artmaking by teachers who are advanced pre-service Art Education students in the Art Education program at SUNY New Paltz.
