Theme - Travel Through Time with Art

Join our new Art Exploration classes as we go on exciting adventures in the fun world of Art and creativity. The sky's the limit as you use your creative ideas to discover the amazing possibilities of drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, puppetry, and mixed media using a rainbow of art materials. Creative kids will love the many opportunities they'll get to unlock new worlds of their imagination!

We've got our own special time machine that will whisk us back to the past or ahead to the future! Let's start by finding out what ancient humans used Art for, then jump forward to see how Art told about important events and people. We'll visit Leonardo da Vinci and be inspired by his paintings and inventions (did you know his invention made the helicopter possible?) Then Leonardo wants us to travel to the future to find out about Art in the year 2525! We'll paint, sculpt, build, and design projects from each era we visit. But don't worry, we'll have you home in time for dinner!
