Kids Art Week 4

Use all kinds of materials to explore creatures of all shapes and sizes throughout a week of animal art adventures.

Reuse, reclaim, and recycle materials into artsy Rube Goldberg inventions for future civilizations! Garbage grabbing and dumpster diving with the intent to make it into usable and interesting art will be the fun focus. Enjoy the challenge of using recycled materials to create a contraption that does something, and make art that helps save the planet—one plastic bottle at a time.

Do you like to create stories? See how artists who make illustrated stories and graphic novels develop ideas and envision worlds. Have fun creating story-boards, and choose your own adventure for characters you invent. Learn how events and action can create unique and memorable worlds on the illustrated page.

Discover a world of "pure imagination" that comes from your secret power source—your brain! This class is for kids who love to create and explore their untapped potential using a variety of mixed media materials that are tactile and fun.

Explore the wonderful world of watercolor paint and all the amazing possibilities! Using this medium as the starting point, make 2D art—with some 3D elements—full of color, pattern, and paint!

Spend the week creating a character—or two!—of your choice. Learn the fundamentals of 2D design while exploring what elements make your character tick. By the end of the week, you will have created a character that has come to life on the page!

Participants will move through making a collage, a montage, and finally an assemblage artwork. Some participants may choose to add to one or to focus on a single work.

Create a variety of functional and non-functional ceramic pieces using the potter's wheel and hand building techniques.
