My Furry Scaly Slithery Friends, AGE 4-5
Tuesday, July 25, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM $30
Let’s gather to create a few creatures from our imaginations.
Using a variety of papers, fabrics, crayons and paints, transform
your creatures from 2D drawings to 3D objects that have lots of
different textures. We will use story and music and maybe a little
dancing to find our inspiration.

Beyond the Moon and Back, AGE 6-10
Tuesday, July 18, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM $55
Calling all space travelers! We will explore outer space through
art. Beginning with drawing and painting objects and landscapes
from the solar system, we will move on to construction
of our own rockets of recyclables. Our inspiration will be from
real life images, as well as our own imaginations. Get ready to
explore the galaxy through paint, pastel, pencil, and more.

Time Travel in Art: From the Cave to the Canvas, AGE 6-10
Tuesday, August 1, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM $55
Art has been part of the human experience since prehistory. We
will start by making art as our earliest ancestors did, and move
through time discovering how people expressed themselves
through painting, drawing and sculpture. We will visit ancient
Egypt, Greece, Rome, and onto the Renaissance, with paper,
canvas, paint and more.
