Magic of Music

Jun 9 - 13, 2025

9AM-3PM

Concept

Get ready to make some noise! In this cacophonous workshop, we combine the worlds of music and art. Students create their own shakers from found and recycled materials, fashion kazoos from everyday kitchen items, and design tambourines out of plates. The fun doesn’t stop there-—we dive into ribbon dancing, play with shadow, create immersive soundscapes, and so much more. We find inspiration from jazz musicians such as Thelonius Monk and Billie Holiday and classic stories such as “Peter and the Wolf.” This workshop is a celebration of sound, movement, and imagination!

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!
