Abracadabra, Hocus Pocus, its magic and mystery with art as the focus! Magical Art Mystery Tour draws children into a world of wonder, revealing unbelievable art tricks and inspiring out-of-the-box creativity. Experiment with new and mysterious mediums and discover surprising techniques to transform familiar materials into magical masterpieces. Sculpt clay lizards and build lizard playgrounds out of sticky magic "nuudles". Create colorful ceramic piggy banks, whimsical Model Magic owls and scratch a work of art inspired by the artist, Miro. Wave wands over T-shirts to form magical designs using fabric printing inks and stir a few unexpected items into a "fluffy goop" potion. Discover the secret ingredient that turns pencils into paints, black lines into circus elephants, and torn paper into painted landscapes. And so much more! The results are totally "WOW." And...voila...young art magicians bring home masterpieces each week
Winter Session: Art-Ventures in the Rainforest
What To Look Forward To!
Head off on a jungle safari! Art adventurers trek through the rainforest, discovering the wondrous and rare creatures that call home. Journey into the world of parrots, jungle cats, snakes, red-eyed tree frogs and more, and experiment with whimsical and original art forms and techniques. Create stained glass tigers, build rockin' rain sticks, paint ceramic turtles, design repoussé reptiles, and sculpt froggy light switch covers. Throughout the voyage art adventurers learn about the importance of saving the rainforest, and pick up super artist survival skills like printmaking, painting, collage, and journaling. They even make their own t-shirts using a unique and unusual oil pastel technique. Surprises and laughter round out this fun-filled art safari. Adventurers return home with awesome works of art each week
Spring Session: Unleashing Creativity Through Myths & Mysteries
What To Look Forward To!
From sea creatures of the deep to phoenixes in the sky, every society has its legends and lores. We'll tell their stories through paintings, sculptures, and other works of art. These tales may inspire awe, curiosity, or surprise, but they all inspire our imaginations. Each class is all about designing a one-of-a-kinds mythical creature. Let your imagination soar as you explore myths from diverse cultures and tell your own story.
