Kids will think outside the box, and inside the box! Kids have fun creating 3-dimensional worlds in shadow boxes. A diorama is magical because it tells a story about the artist. Students will pick a theme (i.e. a dream, a movie, a painter, or a place) and using papers and collage materials will learn how to layer and create perspective inside their mini worlds. Big imaginations are required for this class!
Camp
Wild Clay Kingdom
The various animal kingdoms of the world have many different types of wild animals and habitats. Each day we will focus on a different part of the world and the animals that live there. Then, we will make clay sculptures of those animals and build homes for them. Immerse your kids in the wild clay kingdom! Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 10-12 days after the class session is finished.
Altered Books for Kids
Kids learn about how an altered book is a form of mixed media artwork that changes a book from it’s original form to a different form, changing it’s appearance or meaning. Kids will choose a topic that is meaningful to them (i.e. travel, comics, love, friendship). Then, students will have the opportunity to work with paint, vintage papers, feathers, stencils, and markers to create compositions in their book that align with their book theme. If they are up for a challenge, kids can even learn the “pop-up” book technique to give their altered book a 3-D quality. The options are endless! Bring your creativity and have fun!
Mosaics for Kids
This is a favorite art experience for kids in Park City. Glass and tile are great mediums for growing confidence in a child’s creativity. The students are given lots of freedom in their choice of design and project goals. They learn skills in cutting, placing, grouting and finishing a mosaic masterpiece. Students return year after year and become extraordinarily proficient in this art form. This is an art piece they will be proud of their entire lives.
LaLaLa Musikalia
What happens when we mix art and music together? Magic! Students build unique musical instruments in this class using art materials and recycled materials. Kids will make these projects their own by detailing the instruments with colors and symbols using painting and drawing materials. Kids will make mini guitars, hand drums, shakers, and more to create their very own artistic ensemble!
YogART for Kids
Be creative and active in YogART with Randi Jo! During the first hour, Randi Jo will lead a yoga lesson with the kids. During the second half of the class, kids will participate in an art project that aligns with the theme of the day. Kids will learn about mandalas, chakras, meditation, and mindfulness while creating and having fun!
