RAM’s Charles A. Wustum Museum of Fine Arts

Flying to the moon, living on Mars, a garden on Venus, undersea communities, cars that fly, people that fly, robots that cook your meals or do your homework—these futuristic ideas have been imagined countless times! Let’s set our imagination to the future and reimagine what the world looks like in an artistic way—looking at the past, the events of today, and the possibilities of tomorrow. Create art that envisions the future using both traditional and some very non-traditional art-making supplies. What is your idea of future life?

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.

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.

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