We’ve made things even easier for families by making our classes a built-in part of Homework Club. It is now a fully all-inclusive program, so when your child is enrolled in Homework Club, they get full access to our classes at Village Arts!
Teaming up with our after-school musical theatre program, The Wizard of Oz, Jr , two of our Homework PLUS classes are taking an imaginative journey down the yellow brick road! This fall, let your imagination take flight in Imagine Oz, Village Arts’ newest creative adventure. Inspired by the magical worlds of The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, and Wicked, students will use these beloved stories as a springboard for their own original ideas, creations, and adventures. As they journey through the wonderful world of Oz, they’ll build, create, move, and imagine while bringing their own unique visions to life. Students enrolled in HWC on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays can participate in Imagine Oz! While each class explores the same imaginative world of Oz, every offering brings its own unique creative adventure. Together, they provide even more opportunities to create, collaborate, and discover.
Kids will start with Homework then go to their “PLUS” class! Clay Play: Village Arts clay studio is for kids of all ages where they can explore the wonders of clay and the process of creating their own work. This mess friendly class unleashes the fun that comes from creating an original work from a lump of clay to a fully glazed piece – be it a monster, a taco cat, a big smiley face or a coffee cup for mom!
Teaching Artist: Al Batiste
Led by longtime Village Arts teaching artist Al Batiste, students will transform simple materials into extraordinary creations inspired by the colorful worlds of Oz. Young artists will create murals, oversized sculptures, imaginative props, collaborative installations, and other large-scale works while exploring color, texture, design, and storytelling. Every project encourages creativity, problem-solving, and artistic exploration in a fun, supportive environment.

3D Creations with Ms. Paula: Village Arts Mini Program Director, Paula Lisbe brings her playful approach of using everyday materials (cardboard boxes, bottle caps, string, rubber bands and more.) to inspire students to build and create a wide array of projects and art works.
Teaching Artist: Jason Sensation
Join Jason Sensation for a high-energy creative adventure inspired by the movement, music, and characters of Oz. Through games, rhythm, freestyle movement, beginner breakdance-inspired techniques, and imaginative storytelling, students will discover new ways to express themselves while bringing the magic of Oz to life. Each class builds confidence, coordination, creativity, and teamwork through joyful movement and play.
FaceOff Fridays with Ms. Gina and Ms. Sabrina: Ready to roll the dice and claim victory? Faceoff Friday is an action-packed day where students dive into strategy, friendly competition, and classic tabletop favorites like Scrabble, Old Maid, Uno, Battleship, and more. Students will play a age-appropriate, rotating lineup of tactical, card, and party games, compete in weekly tournaments, and tackle exciting cooperative challenges while building critical thinking, sportsmanship, and teamwork skills. Open to all skill levels, every Friday right after school!
Students in all our plus classes will have the opportunity to showcase their original creations in Village Arts’ annual Student Art Show, celebrating their artistic journey through the wonderful world of Oz. No previous experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and a sense of adventure!
