Topics will vary each session to encourage students to discover new and exciting ways of expressing themselves through art. Students may choose a one week art-venture, but may also feel free to sign up for a two week art journey, as projects will be completely different each week! Some destinations to expect on your journey include paper-making, embroidery, recycled magazine sculptures, Styrofoam printmaking, origami books, splatter art, paper mache hot air balloons and more!
Students will immerse themselves in the world of art with a 15-30 minute snack and games break! There will also be “free arts” periods in between projects/ during spare time, in which students will get the
opportunity to work individually and request what materials they would like to use. Brace yourself for an art-venture!
