Our Programs for juniors (11-14 years old)

Think. Write. Shoot. Edit. Direct.

From having an idea to bringing it to the screen, students take ownership of the filmmaking process. They develop stories, write scripts, plan shoots, direct, act, film and edit their own short movies.

Designed for students ready to build on their filmmaking experience, this club explores how camera angles, lighting, sound and editing shape a story. Film analysis, practical challenges and collaborative projects help students develop their own creative voice while taking turns behind and in front of the camera.

More independence. More responsibility. Their ideas, their decisions, their films.

And as always at ALCNY, we simply speak English.

Meet the artists. Explore their ideas. Create your own.

COMA invites children to discover modern and contemporary art through painting, drawing, sculpture, collage and mixed media. Each artist opens a new door: a different way to see, use materials and turn an idea into something of their own.

From Cézanne’s still lifes to Seurat’s dots, Van Gogh’s moving skies and Monet’s water lilies, inspiration becomes hands-on experimentation. A painting can become a three-dimensional landscape. A portrait can inspire a wearable sculpture.

We look beyond copying a masterpiece and ask: “What would I do with it?”

With fresh artists and projects each trimester, children develop their observation, technique and confidence while making creative choices, sharing ideas and respecting different ways of seeing.

And as always at ALCNY, we simply speak English.

From an idea to a collection of your own.

Explore fashion as a form of expression and discover how designers turn inspiration into garments, accessories and collections.

Led by fashion specialists, this hands-on afterschool studio introduces teens to mood boards, fashion illustration, textiles, print design, draping and upcycling. Students develop skills in garment construction, pattern-making and textile manipulation while experimenting with materials and developing their own creative identity.

Through references to artists, designers and fashion through the decades, they explore how style connects with culture and society. Styling challenges and fashion photography help them communicate the ideas behind their work.

Each project builds towards a personal mini collection and a portfolio documenting their research, experiments and designs. Along the way, students receive feedback, refine their work and learn to present and explain their creative choices. For those considering further studies in fashion or design, this provides a foundation for future portfolio development.

No previous fashion or sewing experience is needed. Bring your curiosity, your ideas and your willingness to experiment.

Digital art encompasses a wide range of creative works produced using digital technology to manipulate and enhance images, designs, and animations. This form of artistic expression offers unparalleled versatility, allowing students  to experiment with various techniques and styles that may not be feasible with traditional media. From intricate illustrations to mesmerizing animations, digital art opens up new avenues for creativity and innovation, pushing the boundaries of artistic possibility in the digital age.
