Most students already attend a weekly art class in school. Why should elementary, middle school, and even high school students take art classes OUTSIDE of school? Isn't it the same thing? There are many ways that our big kids benefit from regular weekly art classes OUTSIDE of school. Here are just a handful:

We've had out 3Doodlers for a month now and I finally feel comfortable writing a short review of the product. If you're not familiar with the 3Doodler, check out the video link below for the newer 2.0 models: Our studio invested in a few of the 2.0 because they were quieter and lighter and not too much more expensive than the older model. We currently have three of the 3D printing pens. We've used them for two classes and the our instructors have had a chance to play with them. Here's what we've learned:

We'll also be using them during many of our Camps and Makerspace Events!
School starts this week and we're as excited as anyone else! Capturing the excitement of the first day is a important ritual for most families. Soon our facebook feeds will be flooded with smiling kiddos with fresh haircuts and new backpacks. Read below with some of our best tips for getting a great back-to-school pic! be preparedGreat photos don't happen if you're stressed, running behind and unprepared. If you want to capture a great photo, begin the night before!
The Big Day
We used paper templates to paint our wood sign. We uploaded our templates for anyone who wants to download and print paper ones like the ones below. Completely free: [here]
Remember the purposeYes, we all want a perfect picture. Remember the bigger purpose of this day. This day is about celebrating and documenting the excitement of a new year. Grab the photos but not at the expense of ACTUALLY enjoying your morning together and experiencing the excitement.
But maybe your morning just isn't going well. Scrap the photo ops and be present in the moment. Second-day of school pics are just as good! We were blessed this past month to host a number of groups for private events and classes. Two northland elementary schools hosted summer workshops at the studio. We have all the audio-visual equipment, tables and chairs to accommodate groups as large as 45. They worked most of the day preparing for the upcoming school year, but we took a break to paint and be creative! It’s so valuable for teams to learn and grow together creatively! We also hosted a private class for the Epilepsy Foundation of Missouri and Kansas. They needed custom artwork for their 5K banners. We designed a special project to fit their needs. Orange Easel provided the space, supplies, and instruction. They provided the artists! The result was our Faces of Epilepsy self-portraits. Check out a few of them below: Let us be your group’s MakerspaceStudio rental rates, project prices, and supply costs vary greatly, but we'd love to chat with you about customizing an event just for you!
