Educators Karen Peters (M.S. in Ed. and developer of The Accessories Club at Visitation Academy) and Susan D’Auria (M.S. in Ed. Adolescent Mathematics) have teamed up to create a unique approach to exploring the connection between Art and Mathematics. The program strives to engage children with hands-on projects that encourage creativity while demonstrating the need for Mathematics outside the classroom.
Why is this a perfect after school activity?
Our Lab allows for young adults to express themselves artistically, as well as promoting the importance of using patterns, proportions, and measurements to complete a work of art.

Building Fine Motor Skills
Threading a needle, sewing a flower, and creating paper beads all require focus and attention to detail. Our weekly projects will enhance your child’s hand-to-eye coordination as well as their spatial awareness.
