Concept
In this workshop, design and create works of art based on the things and people who are important to you! Throughout the week, students create magical 2-D artworks using various mixed media to curate into a book that tells an autobiographical story. Work creatively with paint, oil pastels, collage, glitter, clay and papier-mâché. Sculpt ceramic family trees and papier-mâché world sculptures that replicate treasured memories. Children will also use sketchbooks and learn about famous artists to help ideas flow! Get ready to tell a story through art; at the end of the week books and sculptures are displayed.
This workshop is taught by a bilingual art educator who will support our English and Spanish speaking participants through the use of both languages during instruction.
El taller será dado por un profesor de artes profesional que apoyará tanto a nuestros participantes hispanoparlantes como a los que hablan inglés haciendo uso de ambos lenguajes durante la clase.
¡Arte como yo!
En este taller se diseña y crea obras de arte basadas en las cosas y personas que son importantes para ti. A lo largo de la semana, los alumnos crearán obras de arte mágicas en dos dimensiones, utilizando diversos medios mixtos para confeccionar un libro que cuente una historia autobiográfica. Trabajarán de forma creativa con pintura, pasteles al óleo, collage, purpurina, arcilla y papel maché. Esculpirán árboles genealógicos de cerámica y esculturas del mundo de papel maché que reproduzcan recuerdos entrañables. Los niños también utilizarán cuadernos de dibujo y aprenderán sobre artistas famosos para que las ideas fluyan. Prepárate para contar una historia a través del arte y al final de la semana expondrás los libros y las esculturas.

Join for a single day or the whole week! Whiz, Whoosh, Zoom! Art in Action. Get ready to move, make, and imagine! In this high-energy workshop, we explore the exciting world of motion through art. From flowing rivers and twisting roads to flying machines and spinning surprises, each day brings a new adventure. We’ll sculpt clay boats, build tunnels, fly hand-crafted kites, and create mesmerizing zoetropes. Using Ozobots, topographic maps, recycled treasures, and vibrant paints, we’ll invent whimsical machines and kinetic creations. Through sculpture, collage, and playful invention, we’ll turn movement into magic. At the end of the week, we’ll celebrate with a special gallery show featuring all our action-packed artworks!

Art Through Time!
Hannah Baker
Tuition $600
Code K0101-26
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!
