Children’s Art Tour At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art This Saturday

Did you know that there are many mythical creatures hiding out at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? My adventurous art tours for children, ArtXplorers, will take kids on a journey to find some of these amazing beings and their unique histories, from French dragons to African Masks to the ancient Greek story of Perseus and Medusa. We will discover some fantastical creatures from ancient Greek, Mexican, African, and Assyrian lore, and end the tour with a kids’ art project in which we make our very own mythical creatures.

So in between helping our city recover from Hurricane Sandy this weekend, why not take a quick break with your family this Saturday and come along on an art tour? It will give your children a chance to relax, take in some culture, and learn about the wonders of worlds and myths beyond our own.

Speakitaly NYC

SPEAKITALY NYC offers stimulating and entertaining lessons for children 0 to 16 years through a wide combination of activities based on the communicative approach anchored in the Common European Framework of Reference: active learning (group work, role plays, etc.) and practice exercises aimed to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Kids will start speaking and using Italian in a very natural way.&nbsp; Small classes capped at 6 students to make sure each one gets the needed attention and facilitate learners' progress.&nbsp; Our method is driven by a didactic method that is the result of constant updates, professional certifications and more than 10 years of experience in working with non-native speakers from different native languages and levels of knowledge. Our aim is to develop a range of Italian language skills while improving accuracy that will enable the students and participants to interact without stress or feeling rushed. We want to help those in the community really embrace not only the true culture in Italy but the Italian culture within New York City&hellip; Who doesn&rsquo;t love what Italy represents in the kitchen, in history &amp; in the arts? Speakitaly wants to support multilingual families who want to learn a new language or pass along their ancestor&rsquo;s heritage and culture. Raffaella, the founder said: "We see language awareness and intercultural sensitivity as the milestones for an inclusive society. Italian, like all other languages, is an enrichment and a growth in every way. Vi aspettiamo!"
