Wonderful World of Eric Carle
Jun 27 - Jul 1, 2022
9AM - 12PM
Concept
Explore the wild world of characters created by amazing children’s book author and illustrator, Eric Carle. Celebrate classic books like The Hungry Caterpillar, The Grouchy Ladybug and many more! What makes Eric Carle’s characters so special? How can we mimic his legendary style to create unique artworks of our own? We explore these questions as we craft our favorite real and imaginary animals in a variety of mediums including paint, watercolors, oil pastels, crayons, plaster caste material and others!

Code ZFK4201-26
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.
