Let's build an imaginary world together! With the help of friends, we create houses, skyscrapers, planes, trains and so much more! In this workshop, we learn about different types of architecture and design styles and incorporate those into our own creations. We use mixed-media materials to bring our worlds together, like cardboard, paint, clay, foam, and glue to make a city filled with whatever they can imagine! Whether your world is in the deep of the ocean, on the moon in space, or in the green aspen trees,get ready to plan, design, and build!

This workshop explores storytelling techniques through the worlds of animation and stop motion. Students produce their own movies using the playful art of stop-motion animation, creating sets and characters with a variety of material resources. The second half of the week is devoted to the emerging field of interactive animation. Students learn how to write processing code to create digital animations that can actually react to their surroundings.

Embark on an exciting journey through our Imagination Lab workshop, where the worlds of science and art collide! Through interactive activities, engaging discussions, and hands-on art projects, young participants will explore the wonders of our environment, space, animals, and more. Using art as a tool for discovery, we'll delve into the complexities of the natural world, investigating ecosystems, habitats, galaxies, and more. From experimenting with color, texture, and pattern to exploring various mediums like painting, clay, paper-mache, and collage, there's no limit to the creative exploration in store.
