At Mindful Masterpieces with Melissa, we are dedicated to teaching children about yoga and art through our school programs.
Move over macaroni necklace, this Fine Art class aims to expose young children to famous artists and artworks of all kinds; expose them to names and art terms; give them preliminary information about each work so that when they see it again later in life, the child will have a memory or a recollection of the artwork to build on. Each class will learn to recreate the "inspiration" piece and examine how we can relate to it which is the mindful part... sometimes that can get REALLY interesting with young children!
During each hour-long lesson, the children learn how to recreate the masterpiece while practicing techniques benefiting fine motor, directional brushstrokes, and listening skills. Mindful connections to art and one another is at the core of our classes. This successful afterschool art program was created specifically for young children and preschoolers with their unique attention spans in mind. We have Yoga/movement breaks, songs, and small groups for individualized attention, private lessons, and professional development. Bring us to your next gathering for a truly unique, fun experience. Find us at schools in Bronxville, Scarsdale, Rye, Elmsford, Greenwich, and New York City.

We offer on-site classes for children ages two through teens in NYC, Westchester, and Connecticut. This program can be included in your curriculum as it is DOE compliant and can be implemented quarterly, per semester, year-round, or anything that fits your schedule.

Each Summer, Mindful Masterpieces with Melissa is featured in local day camps. We often teach groups of just yoga or art to fit the busy camp schedules. If your camp is looking to add our Yoga, Art, and Mindfulness curriculum to your summer fun, please message us. We offer on-site teachers or will train and support your own teachers.
