Pack your bags—we’re going on an art adventure through history! Each day, young artists travel to a different time and place to discover how people have made art for thousands of years. We start by painting cave-style murals like early humans, then try our hands at clay tablets inspired by ancient Mesopotamia. We design pottery like the Greeks and Romans, decorate fancy letters like medieval artists, and make bright “stained-glass” collages that glow with color. Moving forward in time, we splash paint like the Impressionists, create bold pop art, and dream up what art might look like in the future! By the end of the week, every child has created a “time capsule” of their own amazing creations—celebrating creativity from the past, present, and beyond!

Get ready to make some noise! In this cacophonous workshop, we combine the worlds of music and art. Students create their own shakers from found and recycled materials, fashion kazoos from everyday kitchen items, and design tambourines out of plates. The fun doesn’t stop there-—we dive into ribbon dancing, play with shadow, create immersive soundscapes, and so much more. We find inspiration from jazz musicians such as Thelonius Monk and Billie Holiday and classic stories such as “Peter and the Wolf.” This workshop is a celebration of sound, movement, and imagination!

Embark on a vibrant journey through the natural world of plants, insects, and flowers! Roaming Anderson Ranch's enchanting campus, we gather not only supplies but also inspiration for our imaginative art projects. Get ready to transform your observations of the natural world into breathtaking art, bringing the outdoors to life through vibrant colors, textures, and shapes. Nature's canvas awaits—let's walk, observe, and create together in this dynamic and immersive art experience.

Dive into the world of abstract art and become inspired by the colors, shapes, textures, and materials. Create vibrant watercolor prints, three-dimensional sculptures, oil pastel and paper collages, and so much more! We use unconventional materials to explore the likes of Helen Frankenthaler, Picasso, Joan Miro, Alma Woodsey Thomas among others. Our experiences, stories and feelings guide us to create our own personal touches on these absolutely artful abstractions!
