Concept
Discover how amazing our bodies are through art! Each day, we celebrate a new way our bodies move, feel, and express. We stretch and trace our outlines to create life-sized portraits, stamp handprints and footprints into colorful patterns, build clay models inspired by our bones, and paint swirling shapes that capture the energy of dance and play. We explore textures to spark our senses and create faces that show big feelings. Throughout the week, we use drawing, painting, and sculpture to see ourselves in exciting new ways—inside and out. At the end of the class, every child proudly shares artworks that celebrate the wonder of being uniquely them!

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!
