ARTivities
Our Art and Innovation Lab is stocked with everything from clay to paints to pastels to help your child explore the world of art. When children delve into art, they are not just painting a picture or creating a sculpture; they are developing skills that will help them in other areas of their lives, including spatial reasoning, perspective and dimension.
March ARTivities
Throughout March, we will let our creativity flow with art projects inspired by the letter H.
- Art Bar: Develop fine motor skills through manipulating the horse’s mane when you learn the overhand knotting technique on a wooden horse.
Art projects:
- Collaborative Mural: With sessions at 11 am and 2pm, you can add your own twist to the community horse or take time to draw a more realistic equine using a beautiful horse mannequin.
- Historic / Artistic Movements: Renowned artist Hokusai was especially revered by the great Vincent Van Gogh. Known for his whimsy as well as his exquisite renderings of nature and people, Hokusai led the way in printmaking and painting. We will pay homage to him by creating our own mini plate using clay and then painting scenes of nature on it.
- Techniques: Hand-building pottery gives you a chance to shape beautiful pieces without a wheel or kiln by pinching, rolling, stacking, and shaping clay.
- Memphis Artist Series: Explore the world of color and shape as you create this masterpiece, designed by local artist Carl Moore.
