Art Around the World

Tuition $550

Pack your bags and get ready to embark on the artistic adventure of a lifetime! We start our journey by creating our very own passports, and then off we go to Japan, Mexico, Italy, Panama, and Brazil. Each day students focus on one destination and create beautiful and creative works of art specific to that location. Projects include Japanese ceramic tea cups and paper lanterns, Mexican prayer boxes, Italian frescos, colorful mola textiles from Panama, and papier-mâché parrots from Brazil. We also explore the culture, folklore, and history of these destinations.

Art of Mexico

Olivia Martinez

Tuition $550

Join this culturally-rich workshop where students create and design art projects based on traditional Mexican folk arts including pottery, weaving, and paper crafts. While learning some basic Spanish, students look at various examples of artwork from regions in Mexico as well as their historic significance. Students then create their own artworks inspired by “alejibres” which are whimsical wooden toys, “hojalata” or tin artwork, “papel picado” which is a cut paper technique—plus ceramics and more! On Friday there is a celebration with a piñata for friends and families to enjoy.

My Favorite Things!

Anjuli DiMaria, Olivia Martinez

Tuition $575
Code K1011-23

Have you ever had something you just can’t let go of? Like maybe a favorite stuffy, or a favorite meal you must have on your birthday, or even your family on the first day of school? This workshop explores the things we love that make us unique! We craft our favorite plate, bowl, and cups out of clay to hold our most delicious treats. We create sculptures all about us and what we like, using mixed-media materials, wood, and clay. We draft and paint portraits of the people we love. We explore our differences and our similarities—and create new favorites!
