We will be breaking things into shapes & putting them back together — with mixed media, and study cubism, led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque — seeing subjects from many sides at once.

• Day 1: "Side-by-Side" Clay Faces (Clay & Mixed Media) A "Frankenstein" style portrait where one half of the face is looking forward and the other is a profile view.

• Day 2: Felted "Fragment" Landscapes Instead of soft, blended clouds, kids must create "hard-edged" clouds by matting wool into sharp triangles. They will layer different shades of green wool in overlapping geometric blocks to represent hills.

• Day 3: The Shattered Glass Still Life (Glass & Acrylic) Kids draw a bowl of fruit on the acrylic, then "shatter" the image by gluing glass tiles over specific sections, creating different heights and angles that catch the light like a prism.

• Day 4:The Mosaic Mirror Portrait (Glass & Paint) Kids paint their face on a mirror. Then, they glue small mirror fragments at tilted angles over their eyes or nose. When they look at the finished project, their own reflection appears "shattered" and reconstructed, just like a Braque painting.

In this four-day class, young creatives will practice and learn the basics of drawing. 

• Day 1: Energy & Movement Gesture Drawing & Line Warmups Today is all about "loosening up" and overcoming the fear of the blank page. Students will dive into the world of gesture drawing, learning how to capture the action and energy of a subject in just a few seconds. Through a series of high-energy line warmups and "blind contour" exercises, we will focus on hand-eye coordination and the beauty of expressive mark-making. It’s all about the process, not perfection!

• Day 2: The Blueprint of the Face Portrait Proportions & The Grid Method Have you ever wondered how artists get a portrait to look "just right"? Today, we unlock the secrets of the human face. We will study the standard mathematical proportions of a portrait and introduce the Grid Method—a classic technique used by the masters to achieve pinpoint accuracy. Students will learn how to break down complex images into manageable shapes, building a solid foundation for a realistic self-portrait or character study.

• Day 3: Light, Shadow, & Form Still Life & Value Studies On Day 3, we bring objects to life! By setting up a classic still life, students will explore the "Five Elements of Shading." We will move beyond simple outlines to focus on value—the lightness or darkness of a color. Using charcoal or graphite, students will learn how to use highlights, core shadows, and reflected light to make flat shapes look like 3D forms that pop off the paper.

• Day 4: The Grand Finale Final Composition & Peer Feedback It’s time to bring all our new skills together. Students will spend the first half of the day working on a final polished composition that incorporates line, proportion, and value. To wrap up our intensive, we will hold a supportive "Gallery Walk." This peer feedback session teaches students how to talk about art constructively, celebrate their classmates' successes, and reflect on their own creative journey.

Students will learn hand-building forms inspired by historical pottery from world cultures. We'll study ancient vessels, bowls, and sculptural traditions — how people made art to hold daily life objects. 

• Day 1: The First Vessels Coil Pots & Pinch Techniques Travel back to the very beginning of human creativity! Before the invention of complex tools, artists used their hands to "pinch" and "coil" earth into beautiful, functional art. Students will learn the fundamental pinch-pot method and the coiling technique used by ancient cultures from the Americas to Africa. We’ll focus on building height and strength, creating vessels that could have held grain, water, or ancient treasures.

• Day 2: Stories in Stone Textured Slabs & Imprints Today, we explore the art of the slab! Inspired by the tablets and decorative tiles of Mesopotamia and ancient Rome, students will roll out flat "canvases" of clay. We will experiment with surface design, using found objects, handmade stamps, and natural textures to "print" stories and patterns into the clay. This session focuses on how ancient people used pottery to record history and decorate their surroundings.

• Day 3: The Physics of the Spin Potter’s Wheel Basics & Forms It’s time to get the clay moving! On Day 3, we introduce the potter’s wheel, a revolutionary invention that changed the world. Students will feel the "centrifugal force" as they learn the basics of centering and pulling walls. Whether they are making a small bowl or a decorative form, this day is all about the magic of the spin and the hand-eye coordination required to master the machine.

• Day 4: The Finishing Touch Glaze, Reflect, & Function In our final session, we add the "skin" to our sculptures. We will explore the science and art of glazing, learning how minerals and heat transform dull clay into vibrant, glassy masterpieces. As we work, we’ll have a "Maker’s Circle" to discuss form vs. function: Is this object for use or for beauty? Students will reflect on how their modern creations connect them to the long line of artists who have worked with clay for thousands of years.

Students will discuss how illusion has evolved over time and learn the basics of magic, including the different types of tricks and how they work.

• On Day Two, the focus shifts to performance skills such as patter and delivery, along with the art of misdirection, persuasion, and storytelling. Students will experiment with turning everyday household items into magical props and learn one new, larger trick to add to their repertoire.

• Day Three is all about practice and preparation. Students will refine their tricks, develop presentation plans, decide what props they’ll use, and even choose their own performance name as they get ready for their final showcase.

• Day Four is Presentation Day! Students will begin with a full run-through before stepping into the spotlight to perform their magic for the class.

Day 1: Heroes & Heart Story Ideas & Character Sketches Every great book starts with a character we love! Today, students become "Visual Authors." We’ll begin by brainstorming unique story prompts—from magical adventures to everyday mysteries. Then, we dive into character design, learning how to draw our protagonists from different angles and with different expressions. By the end of the day, our characters will have personalities, quirks, and a story to tell.

Day 2: Building the World Setting & Composition Where does your story live? Today, we move our characters into their environments. We will explore environmental storytelling, learning how a background can set the mood of a page. Students will practice thumbnail sketching to plan out their compositions, deciding where the "camera" is placed—is it a bird’s eye view from the clouds or a worm’s eye view from the grass?

Day 3: Bringing it to Life Clean Line Art & Color Plans It’s time to polish our pages! We will focus on sequential imagery, ensuring our story flows smoothly from one scene to the next. Students will learn professional inking techniques to create "clean" line art. Once the lines are set, we’ll move into color theory, creating a limited color palette that reflects the emotion of our story—using warm tones for happy moments or cool blues for mysterious ones.

Day 4: The Masterpiece Book Construction & Binding Today, the "Publishing House" is open! Students will finalize their artwork and learn the tactile art of bookbinding. We will assemble our pages into a physical "mini-book" format, complete with a designed front and back cover. To celebrate, we’ll hold a "Quiet Reading Hour" where students can swap books, share their narratives, and enjoy the diverse stories created by their fellow illustrators.

Curious kids, welcome to the lab. In this four-day mixed media mashup, young “art scientists” will experiment with paint, collage, sculpture, and more. We’ll test ideas, combine materials, and see what unexpected creations appear.

• Day 1: The Great Resist Did you know that oil and water are "enemies"? Today, we use that to our advantage! We’ll start by creating vibrant drawings with oil pastels and then "flood" the paper with watercolor paints. The wax in the pastels will push the paint away, making our drawings glow through the color. We will experiment with salt textures and wet-on-wet techniques to create backgrounds that look like outer space or the deep ocean.

• Day 2: Build & Layer Paper Collage & 3D Textures Today we put down the brushes and pick up the scissors! Inspired by artists like Eric Carle and Henri Matisse, we will create our own "painted paper" and tear it into bold shapes. We’ll learn the art of layering—deciding what goes in the front and what stays in the back. Using recycled materials, fabric scraps, and buttons, we’ll turn flat drawings into textured masterpieces you can actually feel.

• Day 3: Stamp, Press, & Pattern Printmaking & Stamping Fun It’s all about the "multiples" today! We will explore the world of printmaking by creating our own custom stamps. Using foam, sponges, and even everyday "found objects" (like bubble wrap or bottle caps), students will design intricate patterns and repeating shapes. We’ll learn how to load our stamps with ink or paint to create rhythmic designs that can serve as standalone art or a base for more layering.

• Day 4: The Ultimate Mashup The Final "Master-Mix" & Artist Gallery On our final day, all the rules go out the window! Students will choose their favorite techniques from the week—stamping, collage, and resist—to create one large-scale Final Mashup. We will focus on "composition" (where things go) and adding fine details with markers or pens. To celebrate, we’ll host a "Mini-Museum Walk" where our Art Scientists can explain the "top-secret" ingredients they used in their creations.

Day 1: Brand New Identity Screen Printing & Fabric Stamping Every great designer starts with a "logo." Today, we’ll explore Screen Printing and Block Printing specifically for fabric. Students will design their own stamps or stencils to create repeating patterns on their base piece (tote bag, bandana, or apron). We’ll learn how to "heat set" our designs so they stay vibrant even after a trip through the washing machine!

Day 2: Texture & "Pops" of Color Needle Felting & Fabric Markers Time to add some 3D magic! We will introduce Needle Felting (with safety guards for our younger designers) to create fuzzy, textured shapes like hearts, stars, or clouds directly onto our fabric. For the finer details—like names, outlines, or tiny doodles—we’ll use professional fabric markers to make our designs "pop" against the colorful backgrounds we made yesterday.

Day 3: The "Bling" Factor Beading & Simple Embroidery Today is all about the details! We’re moving into embellishment. Students will learn a simple "running stitch" for basic embroidery and how to securely sew on beads, sequins, and buttons. The bedazzler will be brought out for extra fun! This is great for fine motor skills! We’ll focus on adding "focal points"—maybe a beaded border on a tote bag strap or a shimmering sequin sun on a bandana.

Day 4: The Runway Reveal Final Touches & Fashion Walk In our final session, we’ll finish up any loose threads and add any last-minute "flair." Once our wearable masterpieces are complete, we’ll transform the classroom into a Designer’s Runway! Each student will have the chance to "model" their creation and explain the techniques they used—from the fuzzy felt to the shiny beads—sharing their unique style with the group.

Kids: Four-Day Printmaking Powerhouse Class invites young artists to roll up their sleeves and experiment with color, texture, and bold designs. Across four sessions, kids will explore different printmaking techniques and create a small collection of their own prints.

• Day 1: The "Soft" Start Foam Plate Relief & Ghost Prints We begin our journey into the world of "multiples" using soft foam plates. Students will use pencils or "styluses" to etch deep grooves into the foam, creating intricate designs. We will learn the "Art of the Brayer"—how to roll out the perfect layer of ink—and experiment with Ghost Printing (making a second, lighter print) to see how the ink travels from plate to paper.

• Day 2: Nature’s Textures & Found Objects Collographs & "The Junk Drawer" Print Today, we aren’t carving—we’re building! Using the Collograph method, students will glue textured materials like string, lace, bubble wrap, and leaves onto a sturdy base to create a 3D printing plate. Once the glue is dry, we’ll ink up the textures to see how the different "low-relief" surfaces create a beautiful, complex image that you can’t get with a flat stamp.

• Day 3: The "Reductive" Secret Gel Plate Layering & Stencils Instead of carving away wood, we’ll "carve" away ink! Using Gel Printing Plates (or smooth acrylic sheets), students will roll out a solid color and then use stencils, combs, and Q-tips to remove the wet ink. This "reductive" process mimics the look of a woodcut but is much faster and safer. We’ll learn to layer colors on top of each other to create deep, "painterly" masterpieces.

• Day 4: Solar & Kitchen Magic Sun-Prints (Cyanotypes) & Kitchen Litho For our final day, we turn to the power of science! We’ll use light-sensitive Cyanotype paper to create "Sun-Prints" using silhouettes of objects. Then, we’ll try a "Kitchen Litho" experiment using aluminum foil and oily crayons to see how water and grease repel each other to create a print. We’ll finish the session by "signing and numbering" our favorite prints, creating a professional artist's portfolio.

• Day 1: The Secret Skeleton Wire Armatures & Dynamic Figures Every great statue has a secret! Today, we learn about the armature—the "skeleton" that holds a sculpture up. Using bendable wire and foil, students will build a poseable frame of a person, animal, or imaginary creature. We’ll focus on balance and "center of gravity" to make sure our figures can stand, jump, or dance without falling over.

• Day 2: Building the "Skin" Paper Clay & Form-Making Now that our skeletons are built, it’s time to add the "muscles" and "skin." We will introduce Paper Clay, a lightweight and magical material that is easy for small hands to mold. Students will learn how to "bulk out" their wire frames and use sculpting tools to add fine details like fur, scales, or facial expressions. We’ll focus on texture and how to make a 3D surface look interesting from every single angle.

• Day 3: The "Found Object" Challenge Assemblage & Creative Upcycling Can a bottle cap become a robot's eye? Can a cardboard tube become a castle tower? Today is all about Assemblage—the art of making sculptures from "found objects." Students will dive into a treasure trove of recycled materials to build a complex 3D composition. We’ll practice using different "joining" techniques (like tabs, slots, and safe adhesives) to connect mismatched parts into one cohesive masterpiece.

• Day 4: Color, Character, & Composition Final Details & The Sculpture Garden In our final session, we bring our sculptures to life with color! We’ll use acrylics or metallic paints to give our clay and found-object pieces a professional finish. Once the "paint is dry," we will arrange our work into a Pop-Up Sculpture Garden. Students will practice "curating" their art, deciding how to display their pieces so they tell a story to anyone who walks by.

• Day 1: Captured by the Sun Sun-Prints & Leaf Shadows We start our week by partnering with the sun! Using light-sensitive Cyanotype paper, students will "photograph" the silhouettes of local leaves, flowers, and feathers. We’ll explore how UV light creates a chemical reaction, leaving us with beautiful, Prussian-blue masterpieces of the natural world.

• Day 2: The Artist’s Garden Natural Pigments & Botanical Painting Where does paint come from? Today, we become "Art Chemists." We will crush berries, charcoal, and flower petals to extract their natural pigments, creating our own eco-friendly paint. Students will use these "earth-tones" to illustrate a Botanical Field Guide, documenting the plants found right outside our door.

• Day 3: Hidden Spirits Garden Guardians & Earth Sculpting Today, we create art for the earth! Using mud, air-dry clay, sticks, and stones, students will sculpt "Tree Spirits" or "Garden Guardians." We’ll focus on ephemeral art—art that is meant to change over time as the wind and rain interact with it. It’s a lesson in letting go and celebrating the "now."

• Day 4: The Giant Loom Nature Weaving & Collaborative Mandalas In our final session, we’ll work together to build a "Community Mandala" on the ground using hundreds of colorful stones and petals. Then, each student will build their own branch-frame loom, weaving together grasses, vines, and yarn to create a textured hanging that brings the beauty of the outdoors inside.

Using "room-in-a-box" techniques, we’ll build tiny furniture and decor to create the ultimate dream space.

• Day 2: The Cardboard City Engineering without Tape How do you build a skyscraper that doesn't wobble? Today, we put our engineering hats on! Students will learn slotted construction and "tab-and-fold" techniques to build a massive, collaborative Cardboard City. The challenge: build as high as you can without using a single roll of tape!

• Day 3: Treehouse Tech Elevated Forms & Weight-Bearing It’s time to go vertical! Using popsicle sticks, dowels, and string, students will design "Treehouses" or elevated structures. We will explore triangulation—the secret shape that makes bridges and towers strong—and test our structures to see how much "weight" (in pebbles or coins) they can hold.

• Day 4: Lighting & Landscape The Glow-up & Final Neighborhood A house isn't a home without a yard and some lights! In our final session, we’ll add "landscape architecture" using moss, sand, and pebbles.

Students will design intricate silhouette characters and learn how to use brass fasteners to create moving arms, legs, and wings. We’ll practice "acting" behind a backlit screen to see how our puppets come to life through movement alone.

• Day 2: The "Handy" Muppet Sock Transformation & Personality Today is all about character! Using colorful socks and felt, students will build "Moving Mouth" puppets. We’ll focus on facial expression—where do you put the eyes to make them look silly? How does a wig change their personality? By the end of the day, our puppets will have names, voices, and favorite hobbies.

• Day 3: Master of Strings Rod & String Marionettes Let’s get those puppets walking! Using recycled tubes and wooden dowels, students will construct "Marionette-style" puppets. We’ll explore the physics of string-tension, learning how a simple flick of the wrist can make a puppet dance, sit, or wave hello to the audience.

• Day 4: The Grand Performance Shoebox Theaters & Short Plays Showtime! In our final session, we’ll build mini "Shoebox Stages" for our characters to inhabit. Students will work in small groups to write a 1-minute "Puppet Play," focusing on narrative structure(Beginning, Middle, and End). We’ll end the week with a "Festival of Stories" for the whole class to enjoy.

Using baking soda, vinegar, and vibrant dyes, students will create "fizzy art" that bubbles and mixes right on the paper, teaching us exactly how Red and Blue make a perfect Purple.

• Day 2: The Fold & The Dye Tie-Dye & Fiber Folds Get ready to get messy! Today, we explore Fiber Art. Students will learn professional folding techniques like "The Spiral" and "The Bullseye" to create intricate patterns on fabric. We’ll talk about how dye bonds to the "fibers" of the cloth, creating wearable rainbows that never fade.

• Day 3: The Glow-Lab Blacklight Art & High-Vibrancy Media What happens to color when the lights go out? Today, we use neon paints and highlighters to create "Midnight Gardens." We’ll work under blacklights to see how certain colors "fluoresce" and glow. It’s an exploration of light waves and high-contrast composition that feels like pure magic.

• Day 4: Swirls & Stones Shaving Cream Marbling For our final day, we’ll use a surprising tool: shaving cream! By "floating" ink on top of a fluffy cloud of foam, students will create psychedelic, marbled patterns on paper and stones. We’ll finish the week by framing our favorite "swirl" and discussing how "random chance" can create some of the most beautiful art of all.
