Embark on an exciting journey through our Imagination Lab workshop, where the worlds of science and art collide! Through interactive activities, engaging discussions, and hands-on art projects, young participants will explore the wonders of our environment, space, animals, and more. Using art as a tool for discovery, we’ll delve into the complexities of the natural world, investigating ecosystems, habitats, galaxies, and more. From experimenting with color, texture, and pattern to exploring various mediums like painting, clay, paper-mache, and collage, there’s no limit to the creative exploration in store. Join us for an unforgettable adventure where every brushstroke and scientific insight sparks a discovery in our lab!

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!
