Grades 2-5:
Morning Session (9:30 AM-12:00 PM):
(Day 1) Try your hand at this ancient painting technique in Suminagashi Paint Marbling with Erika Arndt that floats ink atop water to produce beautiful results on paper and cloth. Dress for a mess. (Day 2) First, we’ll take a walk to the labyrinth where we’ll each have a chance to walk it, observing the world around us: cars going by, birds singing, gravel crunching beneath our feet in The Curious Case of the Talking Labyrinth with Amber Guetebier. Then, we’ll return to the classroom (or maybe stay outside) to write a story from the point-of-view of the Labyrinth itself! Name the labyrinth, tell its favorite jokes, and get creative! (Day 3) Build your own one-of-a-kind bag in Duct Tape Cinch Backpack with Erika Arndt with bold duct tape, bright fabric, and a drawstring cord. Add accessories such as a coin pouch or keychain and you’re ready to go! (Day 4) Try your hand at transferring paint from one medium to another in Acrylic Transfer Painting with Kristin Camp, creating bold lines and unpredictable backgrounds. We will experiment developing the artwork further by adding paint, chalk, color pencils and paper. At the end of class, everyone should have a take home piece of art.

Grades 6-8:
Morning Session (9:30 AM-12:00 PM):
(Day 1) We’ll spend time exploring the current exhibition in Did That Work of Art Just Say Something? with Amber Guetebier, where students can identify a piece in the exhibit that “speaks” to them. Then students will write a dialogue-driven story from that artwork’s point of view! Going beyond simply describing a piece, students will have fun making what the art has to say about them. (Day 2) Try your hand at this ancient painting technique in Suminagashi Paint Marbling with Erika Arndt that floats ink atop water to produce beautiful results on paper and cloth. Dress for a mess. (Day 3) Explore the fun and unpredictability of creating a collage in Magazine Collage with Pamela Hanson. After a brief introduction about surrealism and Belgian artist Rene Magritte, we will use magazines to search for photos, illustrations, type, color and patterns to curate our own unlikely images. Materials provided but please feel free to bring magazines to donate to the class. (Day 4) Immerse yourself in the colors and patterns of these geometric designs that are as fun to make as they are to behold in Dot Mandala with Erika Arndt! Use acrylic paint and tiny tools to create dots on stones, canvas, or found objects. Dress for a mess.
