About SPLAT Studio

SPLAT Studio Create

 

Thanks to the good people at Paramount Sports Complex, Meghan Winslow and her creative energy has found a place to call home.  With the recent expansion and renovation of the sports complex, Meghan is able to offer a variety of classes to inspire creativity for people of all ages.

Meghan Winslow PictureMeghan holds a Master of Education degree in art education and has been teaching art classes to Paramount's Preschoolers and to summer campers since Paramount began its camps their opening year in 2004.  Prior to teaching at Paramount, Meghan was employed in the Hanover Area School District and Donegal School District where she taught art classes to children in grades Kindergarten through Fifth grade.  After having her second son, she bitter-sweetly resigned from her teaching position to devote her full-time attention to raising her and her husband's now four sons.  With the "baby" now finishing first grade, Meghan finds herself in yet another bittersweet transition and finds the studio to be a delightful distraction to not having a house full of little ones.

SPLAT Studio is the fruition of years of planning on behalf of Meghan.  Much thought, care and creativity went into the design of the logo and studio space.

 

"Creating a space that articulated a message that artfulness is playful exploration and inclusive to all, was important." - Meghan Winslow


In the studio, paint can lights give the illusion that color is pouring out in the room.  The paintbrush cabinet handles and paint can art caddies look to inspire participants out-of-the-box thinking.  Rainbow tie-dyed colored items decorate the studio and elicit warm smiles and enthusiasm from many.  The warm blue color of the room creates a nice backdrop to showcase many of the student's artwork.

SPLAT offers classes for preschool children, school aged children, teens and adults.  Meghan's focus is teaching children's classes, birthday parties, ladies' night outSPLAT's Classes and offering programs for groups.  She also enjoys collaborating with professional artists who have an interest in expanding their understanding of their medium through teaching others.  Whether Meghan, a SPLAT staff member or a collaborating artist is working with the students, all are guided to recognize and appreciate their own innate abilities.

Now entering SPLAT's second summer, Meghan has designed numerous summer art camps to provide children with quality creative opportunities.  Each camp offers a variety of art and craft materials and unique techniques for kids to experiment with as they express themselves.

 

"Children are encouraged to develop confidence in their individual ways of expressing themselves as they learn to understand that in the art room there are many "right answers" to solving one problem." - Meghan Winslow
