These activities will vary from class to class and include games, relays, obstacle courses, and more! Students will be continually reminded about when and where it is appropriate to use their karate moves. While the classes will be conducted primarily in English there will be a little bit Japanese thrown in which will mostly be numbers and a few names of our basic stances.

Each class uses a different project, which involves topics that can easily be related to by children. Examples are animals and cultural objects from various countries.

  1. Students will perceive an "alphabet" of sorts focused on five basic elements of shape families that combine to form all objects. By learning to view the world through these five elements and how to transcribe the information to paper, everyone, so-called "drawers" and "non-drawers" can learn to become artists in their own right and develop their own unique style of realistic interpretation.
  2. All drawing mediums provided are safe and non-toxic
  3. Children will gain confidence in their visual and observation skills, which will enhance their learning in schools and beyond. They will more incline to explore their creative potential and to enjoy the stimulating world of arts.
  4. The Drawing Through the Alphabet & Geography program is designed for 4-6 years old
  5. The Basic Drawing program is designed for 5-9 years old
  6. Cost for these two programs are $82/month based on 4 wks/month (pro-rated if the number of weekly lessons differs from 4)
