Into the Blue

Get ready to blast off into a week of cosmic creativity as we dive into the mysteries of space and the excitement of alien life! In this out-of-this-world workshop, young artists embark on an intergalactic adventure filled with art and imagination. We craft colorful planet mobiles using foam balls, tempera paint, and fishing line, build rocket ships from recycled materials, and dream up aliens made from clay and glow-in-the-dark paint. With creativity soaring to new heights, this fun and dynamic workshop takes students on a thrilling journey beyond the stars! Buckle up for an unforgettable cosmic art experience!

Discover the power of the five elements through hands-on art! Young artists will explore wind, water, fire, earth, and space by using swirling watercolors to capture the breeze, sculpting explosive volcanoes with papier-mâché, creating rain-inspired drip pastels, and crafting glowing lanterns that symbolize fire. Along the way, they’ll learn how artists from different cultures have been inspired by nature’s forces—from Japanese woodblock prints of ocean waves to Indigenous sand painting traditions. Through texture, color, and movement, students will bring the raw energy of the natural world to life in their own unique creations!

Kinetic energy shapes the world of art! Let’s explore the forces of flight, engineer bridges, and delve into the cultural significance of the passageways we create for the mechanics of movement. We use tissue paper, dowels, and toothpicks to build structures of flight, recycled materials to develop bridges, print-making to represent significant trails, and more. By blending technology, design, and artistic expression we capture movement in creative ways from print-making to sculpture. Get ready to pioneer new paths and bring the energy of motion to life.
