Concept
Take a journey through the world of art, and then make some of your own in this lively weeklong workshop. We are inspired by some of the great and influential artists of our time. Each day we focus on a different artist with a comprehensive look at their style and then spend the day creating our own unique artworks. We learn about famous artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Kusama, Klee, Kahlo, Dali, and many more! Students create a beautiful mixed-media mosaic using Klee’s colors and shapes, a large collaborative collage inspired by Matisse using his geometric abstract style, and a self-portrait expressing emotion like Picasso and Frida. We also get jazzy with Pollock as we paint to the sound of music. Join us on this amazing artistic adventure!
Faculty
Lilian Lara
Lilian Lara is a mixed-media artist focusing on papier-mâché sculptures and costume design. Her love of outrageous pageantry and interest in the fantastical is evident in her work as she draws on her Mexican roots to create unique pieces. She believes art is an essential component to the human condition and should occupy a major space in our daily lives. To create is to communicate without words and boundaries—to be understood without explanation.

Join for a single day or the whole week! Bugs and Birds: Life Below and Above! From the tiniest beetle tunneling underground to the highest hawk circling overhead, this week takes young artists on a journey through every layer of life on Earth. We start low, sculpting clay bugs and building tiny dioramas of the hidden world beneath the rug, in the dirt, and under fallen logs. Then we climb upward, painting layered skyscapes and crafting birds, bats, and bugs that take to the air. Along the way, we study real creatures- their shapes, colors, and camouflage - and use them as inspiration for our own imaginative critters. By the end of the week, we’ve built a whole ecosystem of artwork from the ground up to the clouds! REGISTRATION: If you are interested in registering for single days, please reach out to our Registration Department at [email protected] or call 970-924-5089.
