Yoga at the Watchung Arts Center is in the tradition of BKS Iyengar who in his book “Light on Life” (2005) writes about the benefits of YOGA:

“…the key to overcoming stress is to calm and strengthen the nervous system…..We must moisten our muscles and nerves through the expansion and extension of the various asana (poses). In this way, the stress that saturates the brain is diffused throughout the rest of the body, so the brain is rested…and the body releases its stress and strain through movement.”

Students in the class discover drawing and painting techniques as well as the use of different
materials to create representational and abstract projects. Participants work with wet and dry
media such as pencil, charcoal, oil or chalk pastels, watercolors as well as acrylic on canvas.

Classes are geared toward improving skills and developing artistic ability.

Young artists working develop their natural ability, improve their skills and explore new techniques as they learn the fundamentals of Drawing.

Students discover a variety of wet and dry media such as pencil, charcoal, oil and chalk pastels as well as watercolors while they sketch, shade, use perspective and the color wheel. Projects created from life and the imagination include portraits, landscapes, still life drawings, optical illusions and more!

Under the direction and instruction of Mrs. Monica Schraiber Otero, this Art Camp is a three-week program during the month of July for ages 5-11. Focusing on Creativity, Imagination and Ingenuity, Art Camp offers children a unique opportunity to acquire or improve artistic skills, learn new techniques, explore different materials and get inspired by famous artists. All while having fun!
