Course Descriptions:
- Cut & Create: Paper Portrait Collage with Cindy Moore
In this hands-on class, kids will create colorful paper portrait collages using cut paper, layering, and simple shapes. They’ll explore how to turn their ideas into expressive faces and scenes while building confidence in their creativity. By the end of the week, each student will have a set of unique portraits that can be displayed as a fun “photo strip” or individual artworks.
- Imagination Station: Character Creations with Angela Georgette
Students will design and create their own original characters with drawing, painting, and mixed media. Character development will be inspired by nature and imagination. Students will create a collection of original characters and develop stories and settings for their creations. Projects will include creative drawing challenges and activities that help generate unique character traits, abilities, and imaginative features through creative problem solving.
- Junk Journals with Mary Milelzcik
Keiki will each create a fun interactive junk journal, using simple creative templates, and their imaginations! Pages will be embellished with space left for writing, sketching, painting and collage. Other pages will contain windows, pop-ups and see-through pages to fill with stickers, drawings, collages and paintings. We will provide art supplies, recycled materials, dried leaves and small pressed flowers, handmade papers, magazine and book pictures, feathers, wrappers, recycled paper, stickers.
