Art About Me

Pre K – Grade 1
This workshop is designed to encourage students to learn about others and discover themselves by using art as a medium for expressing and exploring identity.

Arts in Action

Pre K – Grade 1
Visual art and creative movement come together to help children recognize that lines of many kinds are everywhere. Children will create lines in wacky ways with unique art materials—including their own bodies!

Balls, Ramps, and Chutes

Pre K – Kindergarten
Up, down, rolling around! Young children will practice their science process skills as they build and test ramps of different shapes and sizes, and then share what they discovered about the ways things roll.

Coaster Challenge

Grades 1 – 5
Build your own roller coaster! Discover the physics of simple machines by exploring force and motion, gravity, friction, momentum and more, while working in teams to complete a coaster track.

Mindful Moves

Pre-K – Kindergarten
Stomp like an elephant and wiggle like a crocodile! This high-energy workshop engages children in full-body movement through exploration of unique materials, sounds from around the world and a stimulating literacy experience.

Make a Masterpiece

Grades 2 – 5
Design a large colorful masterpiece that reflects a unit of your choice! Children will become acquainted with the tools to create fabric batik, exercise their use of visual language, and create a collaborative work of art.
