Concept
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!
